This consultancy has grown steadily to around 30 staff across ecology, planning and geospatial services. They’re delivering projects that most mid-tiers would envy: from major renewables and pipelines through to residential developments, community spaces and Olympic stadiums. The ecology team (10 strong) has a bottle-neck at the reporting end. With a solid flow of field data coming in, the need is for a Senior who can cast a critical eye over reports, ensure outputs are accurate and fit-for-purpose, and help keep delivery moving smoothly. This is a great move if you’re looking to step back from the field, focus on technical delivery, and grow into the management side of ecology consulting.
The Role:
- Review and finalise ecological field reports, ensuring high-quality outputs
- Project manage ecological components within larger approvals packages
- Deliver ecological inputs for Impact Assessments, DAs and monitoring projects
- Liaise with clients and regulators to support smooth project delivery
- Mentor juniors on reporting standards and ecological assessment methods
- Support the technical lead and help shape delivery processes
Who You’ll Work With:
You’ll be part of a collaborative ecology team that values shared standards and mentoring. The wider business has been carefully built around culture, progression and values alignment - multiple people have already been promoted within a short tenure, backed by training and development. With recent expansion into new regions and further growth in the pipeline, you’ll be joining a firm creating opportunities for staff to grow into a bigger structure.
What You’ll Bring:
- 4–8 years ecological consulting experience (flora/fauna)
- Strong technical reporting and project delivery skills
- Ability to liaise with clients and regulators confidently
- A collaborative mindset - someone who values culture as much as output
