We dont want Tetra Tech to be just your next role, we want it to be a step-change in your career and ultimately a move that you are proud to have made. The Role: As Tetra Tech builds on its demonstrable track record as one of the leading global environmental consultancies, we are seeking a talented?senior ecologist with ornithology experience to join our national team.With ambitions to grow our UK presence to emulate the success of the global business, we are looking for an experienced ornithologist to join our established network of over 95 ecologists with the energy to contribute to a diverse project portfolio. We are looking for an ornithologist who has experience of projects across diverse sectors, with the confidence to liaise with clients and stakeholders and a desire to manage / mentor other members of the team. Project management and the ability to deliver multiple projects to high client expectations within fixed deadlines is an essential requirement of the role. Candidates keen to mentor junior staff are highly desirable, as well those who are proactive at collaborating, have good financial awareness and can efficiently review technical reports. A relevant degree or previous consultancy experience, full driving licence, membership of (or eligibility to join) CIEEM and a legal entitlement to work in the UK are essential for this role. We encourage our ecologists to lead on projects that align with their technical skillset and expertise and will provide inhouse project management training and an array of technical training.With an eye for detail and a desire to deliver to high standards, a key element of this role will be to provide support and feedback to colleagues on project deliverables, drawing on the knowledge of our technical experts to develop the best solutions.

Flexible Working: 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. The role will require site work as well as working closely with ecologists, clients and colleagues from other teams so may require some time at an office or alternative working space to suit those involved. 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.We are supportive of flexible working but will require you to attend offices, events or sites as necessary to deliver the role.

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.
