Job description

Job Description

Are you an ecologist with a desire to put your expertise to good use across a range of projects with the support of an experienced team? Are you ambitious to develop your technical skills and career in line with a defined career pathway? Do you want to find a work/life balance despite the nocturnal nature of bat work?

The Role

As Tetra Tech builds on its track record as a leading global environmental consultancy, we are seeking ecologists of all levels to strengthen our expertise in the Midlands. With ambitions to expand our UK presence, we are looking for dynamic ecologists to join our network of over 50 ecologists.

We work closely with colleagues from planning, placemaking, engineering, transportation, and asset management teams, supporting opportunities from identification through to project delivery. You will develop relationships across the business, liaising with the ecology team and other technical teams at all project stages.

Our consultancy offers advice across sectors including residential, defence, energy, government services, and transport, leveraging the knowledge of our technical experts to develop optimal solutions.

Projects will primarily be in the East Midlands, including Lincolnshire and East Anglia. We operate flexible, hybrid working arrangements, allowing you to choose where, how, and when you work, provided high-quality client service is maintained. Some site work and collaboration with colleagues and clients will be required, possibly involving time in an office or alternative workspace.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements, including reduced or compressed hours and flexible start or finish times, to support your work/life balance. If the timing isn't right now, we welcome you to get in touch to discuss future opportunities.

About the Team

• Over 50 ecologists across 13 offices working cohesively.
• Minimal time away from home.
• Remote and flexible working enabled by IT systems, focusing on talent and skills rather than location.
• Cars or allowances provided to all team members, including for personal use.
• Established TOIL system for flexible time management.
• Clear career frameworks and opportunities for development.
• Internal and external training, mentoring, and support from in-house experts.
• Financial incentives for achieving bat handling licences and Chartered Environmentalist/Ecologist status through CIEEM.
• Collaborative culture with support across disciplines including planning, archaeology, landscape architecture, and engineering.

Tetra Tech is an equal opportunities employer, encouraging applications from all qualified candidates regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, disability, transgender status, belief, marital status, or parental leave, in line with the Equalities Act 2010.
