Working at Tetra Tech

We take pride in delivering projects effectively for clients. This often requires colleagues to be together- in offices or on site – to ensure the best outcomes. However, when possible, we also advocate for flexibility around how, when, and where you work.

There is no service-wide approach — each team manages their own way of working, we trust our employees and focus on outputs not inputs. Meeting up with colleagues and clients face to face in office environments or on site is important for collaboration, face-to-face meetings, appraisals and development.

Equality and inclusion

Making everybody feel welcome at Tetra Tech is important to us – because everybody is welcome! We are working hard to be a business where everyone can be themselves but can celebrate who they are and what they bring to our organisation. If you have a disability, learning difficulty, medical condition or any other individual need, we\'d be happy to talk to you about making reasonable adjustments to our application and selection process that will enable you to be your best.

Tetra Tech is an equal opportunities employer and encourages applications from all suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, transgender status, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity/shared parental leave, in line with the Equalities Act 2010.
