Graduate Ecologist

About the Ecology team 

• Over 70 permanent ecologists across 12 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 internal and external training and mentoring, including from our inhouse experts. 

• 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 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.
