An Associate Ecologist is currently required to join a leading multidisciplinary consultancy, with opportunities available across various UK locations. You will work on a wide range of development, infrastructure and nature recovery projects, collaborating with teams across the business to deliver high-quality ecological services. This is an excellent opportunity to take a senior role within an established ecology team, with opportunities to progress your career and contribute to major projects.
You will lead and manage complex ecological projects, undertake technical reviews of reports and licence applications, and provide expert advice on ecological assessments, habitat design and biodiversity net gain. You will also play an important role in client relationships, work winning and bid preparation, whilst mentoring junior colleagues and supporting the continued growth of the ecology team.
To be considered for this role you will have:
Significant experience in an ecological consultancy environment, including project management
- A degree in Ecology or a related subject, although equivalent experience will also be considered
- Chartered status with CIEEM, CEnv or CIEEM, or actively working towards chartership
- Strong technical experience in UKHab surveys, PEAs, EcIAs, BNG assessments and protected species licensing
- Experience managing project budgets, technical delivery and quality assurance
- Proven experience in client liaison, work winning and bid preparation
- A full UK/EEC driving licence
Experience working on Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects and the DCO process would be advantageous, alongside strong botanical skills, ideally to FISC Level 3 or above.
In return, you will join an award-winning ecology team within a leading multidisciplinary consultancy, working on exciting projects with opportunities for professional development and career progression. You'll benefit from a flexible and inclusive working environment, with hybrid and remote working options and a strong focus on employee wellbeing.
