Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach have set us apart for over 75 years, guiding us in shaping a better world.

Arup is an independent firm of designers, planners, engineers, architects, consultants, and technical specialists working across every aspect of today’s built environment.

Organizations and governments are increasingly aware of the global nature crisis, their impact on it, and the need to move towards a nature-positive future. However, navigating what needs to be done and where to start can be challenging. Inaction could expose businesses to risks, supply chain disruptions, and repercussions from consumers and investors. Our integrated nature solutions utilize nature’s own systems as a design guide, resulting in healthier, more resilient environments that support and protect communities.

About this career opportunity...

We have an opportunity for a Senior Ecologist based in Belfast, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, or York. You will join a team of 30 ecologists within Arup’s northern England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland offices, working within a multidisciplinary Climate and Sustainability Services consulting team to deliver professional services to diverse clients. Projects vary greatly, providing a dynamic and exciting workload.

Your daily tasks may include preparing clear reports such as Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA), Species Survey Reports, Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA), Habitats Regulations Appraisals (HRA), and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Assessments. Field surveys might involve Phase 1 Habitat/UKHab surveys (including condition scoring for BNG assessments and invasive species) and protected species surveys (e.g., for great crested newts, bats, and badgers). Data analysis of survey results, including managing GIS outputs, is also part of the role.

At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective that encourages individuality. Our strength lies in respecting, sharing, and connecting diverse experiences, perspectives, and ideas.

You will have the opportunity to do socially meaningful work that benefits Arup, your career, our members, and the communities we serve.

Is this role right for you?

We are seeking candidates with the following skills:

• A minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Ecology, Zoology, Geography, Biology, or a related field (or equivalent).
• Knowledge in designing and conducting ecological surveys, and delivering EcIA and HRA reports.
• Experience working in planning or environmental/ecological consultancy.
• Experience with BNG and other metrics (e.g., Building with Nature), natural capital studies, biodiversity strategies, TNFD, IFC Performance Standard 6, and related policies is highly beneficial.
• Experience advising on biodiversity design, restoration, green infrastructure, and nature-based solutions to secure biodiversity gains and enhance climate resilience.
• Experience with protected species survey licenses.

What we offer you:

We care about your success and growth. Our competitive reward package includes fair pay, benefits supporting health and wellbeing, learning opportunities, and impactful work.

As a member-owned organization, we have the freedom and responsibility to set our direction. Our profit-sharing scheme allows members to share in our collective success. Benefits include private medical insurance, life assurance, accident insurance, income protection, and flexible benefits tailored to your needs.
