Graduate Ecologist

• About the Ecology team 

  • Over 80 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 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.

Everyone is welcome at Tetra Tech and free to be their authentic self without apology. As a Disability Confident Employer, we’re always open to making reasonable adjustments to our application and selection process.

Tetra Tech colleagues take pride in delivering for clients, working together to ensure projects are delivered in the most effective way. This often requires colleagues to be together in person - in offices or on site - collaborating to ensure the best outcomes for both clients and colleagues. However, we also strongly advocate a hybrid approach that gives as much flexibility as possible around how, when, and where you work. 

There is no 'one approach fits all' for our people – each team manages their own way of working. Your hiring manager can discuss what this looks like with you at interview.

Our people-focused culture includes a programme of mental health first aiders, wellbeing and fitness challenges, diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility groups, and a comprehensive selection of benefits that you can choose from to best suit your needs.
