Consultant or Senior Ecologist - Midlands

Given the variety of projects we work on, we are looking for a Consultant or Senior Ecologist ( class 2 bat licence would be highly desitable)  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 as well as the national bat lead, and in line with our defined career framework, they will continue to develop their bat expertise as well as other areas of ecology if desired. As a key area of the business, we have and will continue to invest in the development of the team’s bat expertise.  We actively encourage our ecology experts to share their knowledge and offer financial bonuses to people who achieve their bat handling licence or chartership.  We are looking for a licensed ecologist who is proactive in developing their own knowledge and understanding of bats as well as upskilling the wider team. 

We Lead with Science® and follow the advice of our bat ecologists when investing in top of the range equipment that allows them to deliver their roles successfully.  We encourage applications from ecologists who have an interest in technological advancements and who are keen to keep on top of the latest developments and guidance.

Projects will predominately be focused in the East Midlands including into Lincolnshire and East Anglia. 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.
