Overview

Our ecology team truly strives to make a positive difference to the natural environment, by working closely with other disciplines across our business to engage in projects from the outset, ensuring ecology is considered at the earliest possible stage. This collaborative working helps to drive forward nature positive schemes that we are proud of.

Our award‑winning team of over 130 ecologists (including the President of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) and three CIEEM Fellows) work across a range of exciting habitat creation, research, development and major infrastructure projects; we also design new innovations and help inform policy.

Your role

  • Working individually but also, collaboratively, in a team environment.
  • Undertaking ecological assessment and habitat design for a variety of development and nature recovery projects.
  • Developing innovative and pragmatic approaches to ecological mitigation and compensation.
  • Collaborating within multi‑disciplinary teams and engaging with stakeholders / clients.
  • Delivering clear and concise, high quality ecological deliverables in line with current guidance and good practice.
  • Quality assurance of ecological deliverables.
  • Acting as ecology lead on projects.
  • Task / project management.
  • Mentoring of staff.
  • Line Management.

We’re passionate about what we do, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Simply put, this a great place to be. So, when it comes to your life outside of work, ask us about our flexible and remote working policies designed to help you get the most out of life.

We also understand that not everyone chooses to take the university route in terms of education – we are open to taking on ecologists without a degree and we are working closely with the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) to make entry into the environmental industry more inclusive for all. For us, it is the experience, knowledge and, above all, your ability to fit in well with our existing team of ecologists, that really matters.
