Ecologist

Overview

We have a post for an Ecologist to join our expanding team, starting April 2026. The role will include:

• Full-time based in our garden office in Little Bookham, near Leatherhead.
• You will need a full driver’s licence and your own car.
• Project management (small to medium sized projects), helping to provide our clients with careful, considered advice.
• Leading dusk emergence surveys (maximum 2 per week).
• Leading Preliminary Ecological Appraisals, Preliminary Roost Assessments, and protected species surveys.
• Preparing ecology reports, bat sound analysis and reviewing night-vision camera footage.
• Biodiversity Net Gain Assessments, including Habitat Condition Assessments and high-level use of QGIS.

As a Registered Practice, we pride ourselves on our ethos of support, education, and kindness. We are looking for someone who can help support our Assistant and Seasonal Ecologists and who can work closely with our small team.

We are looking for someone with at least 3 or 4 years’ experience of working in a consultancy. Applicants will need to be a member of CIEEM and have a relevant degree.

We have quite a few dogs that join us in our newly renovated garden, summerhouse office, as well as a very cuddly cat, so love of animals is important!

Salary is £35-£38k per annum, depending on experience.

To apply, please get in touch with Sarah at sarahlyne@alyneecology.co.uk. Please send your CV and a few paragraphs about why you think you would be a good match for us.
