Flexible Working The role will require site work and some travel dependent on location of projects, and some attendance at our UK offices, plus opportunities to meet colleagues at planned events. However, we operate fully flexible, hybrid working which allows our ecologists to choose where, how and when they work as long as our clients are receiving the high quality service they expect. We focus on talent and skills, not postcode. We are very happy to discuss flexible working for this role, including the possibility of reduced or compressed hours and flexible start or finish times. We can offer a range of solutions to help you get the most out of your work / life balance. If the timing's not quite right for you, please do still get in touch as we will always consider deferring the start date for the right candidate. About the Team Multi award winning Ecology team; recently winning CIEEM Large Consultancy of the Year and Large Scale Mitigation project in 2023 and CIEEM Large Consultancy of the Year 2025. Over 95 permanent ecologists across 13 offices working as one cohesive team. Time away from home minimised. IT systems allow seamless remote and flexible working, so proximity to an office is not a barrier - we focus on talents & skills, not postcode. Our ecologists can work on the projects that interest them and deliver them to the highest standards. Cars or car allowances to every member of the team regardless of grade, including for personal use. Established TOIL system to allow time management to suit specific personal needs alongside seasonal demands. Career frameworks provide clarity on how to progress. We encourage the development of well rounded ecologists who can talk about all stages of a project. We offer extensive internal and external training and mentoring, including from our in house experts along with all team face to face training. Bat handling licence incentivisation scheme to thank ecologists who spend time and effort in achieving their licence - we know it's not easy! And to show our support of personal development, we award a significant financial bonus to anyone achieving Chartered Environmentalist/Ecologist status through CIEEM. We work closely with many other teams, including our own Planners, Archaeologists, Landscape Architects, Masterplanners and Engineers. With a culture of openness, there is always someone within the business who can provide advice and support for almost any query. Our way of working We take pride in delivering projects effectively for clients. This often requires colleagues to be together - in offices or on site - to ensure the best outcomes. However, when possible, we also advocate for flexibility around how, when, and where you work. There is no 'one approach fits all' - each team manages their own way of working. We trust our employees and focus on outputs not inputs. Meeting up with colleague and clients face to face in office environments or on site is important for collaboration, face to face meetings, appraisals and development. Inclusion At Tetra Tech, we want everyone to feel like they truly belong. Our goal is to create a workplace where every person is valued and respected for who they are. Everyone is welcome at Tetra Tech. Opportunities and success should only be determined by attitude, capability and collaborative spirit. Be yourself, without apology.
