78400000602 Requisition #
Thanks for your interest in the Senior Ecologist - Scotland position. Unfortunately this position has been closed but you can search our 1,596 open jobs by clicking here.

Given the variety of projects we work on, we are looking for a Ecologist who has strong field experience and ambitions to develop their technical skills in line with project requirements. With support from the regional and national ecology teams, and in line with our defined career framework, they will develop their expertise across many areas of ecology although they will also be able to choose to develop skills in a particular technical specialism if desired. We have technical leads within the national team who can mentor and provide advice. We show our support for professional development through the provision of training, and bonuses for achieving bat licences and charterships.

 

 

Projects will predominately be focused in Scotland. 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. The role will require a significant amount of site work as well as working closely with other 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. 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

 

  • Over 50 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.

  • Established TOIL system to allow time management to suit specific personal needs alongside seasonal demands.

  • 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.
