Job Description

Ecologist

Location: Tewkesbury (hybrid working available)
Salary: 30,000 - 40,000 DOE



The Good Stuff

  • 30,000 - 40,000 DOE

  • Flexible and hybrid working

  • Support with training, development and licence progression

  • A friendly, professional and supportive team

Our client is a well-established environmental consultancy delivering high-quality ecological and sustainability services across the UK. With a strong and growing presence in the South West, they are now looking to bring an Ecologist into their Tewkesbury team to support an expanding workload.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a mix of fieldwork, reporting and project involvement, and who wants to build their career within a consultancy that invests in its people.



The Role

You'll be working on a wide range of projects, from small developments to major infrastructure schemes, contributing to ecological assessments that help shape sustainable outcomes.

Your work will include:

  • Carrying out habitat and protected species surveys

  • Supporting Preliminary Ecological Appraisals and EcIAs

  • Assisting with mitigation and enhancement plans

  • Writing clear, well-structured ecological reports

  • Working alongside planners, engineers and senior ecologists



What they're looking for

  • A degree in Ecology, Environmental Science or a related field

  • Experience in ecological surveys or consultancy

  • A good working knowledge of UK wildlife legislation

  • Confidence working both independently and as part of a team

  • A full UK driving licence

Protected species licences or strong species experience would be an advantage but are not essential.

This is a strong opportunity for an ecologist who wants to be part of a consultancy that values quality, learning and long-term career development.
