Working Norms and Inclusion

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 one approach that fits all—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.

Making everybody feel welcome at Tetra Tech is important to us because everybody is welcome. 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 to 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.
