Are you an ecologist with a desire to put your expertise to good use across a diversity 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 that follows the route you choose? Do you want to find a work/life balance despite the nocturnal nature of bat work?
The Role
As Tetra Tech builds on its demonstrable track record as one of the leading global environmental consultancies, we are seeking a ecologists of all levels to strengthen our existing expertise in the midlands. With ambitions to grow our UK presence to emulate the success of the global business, we are looking for dynamic ecologists to join our established network of over 50 ecologists.
As a multidisciplinary consultancy, we work closely with colleagues from other teams including planning, placemaking, engineering, transportation and asset management including through the identification of opportunities, tendering and project delivery. You will be proactive in developing relationships with colleagues from across the business, liaising with the wider ecology team and other technical teams, and supporting them through all stages of a project.
We pride ourselves on our ability to offer professional ecology advice across a breadth of sectors including residential, defence, energy, government services and transport. With over 50 permanent ecologists, we can draw on the knowledge of our technical experts to develop the best solutions.
Projects will predominately be focused in the East Midlands including into Lincolnshire and East Anglia. However, we operate fully flexible, hybrid working which allows our ecologists to choose where, how and when they work as long as our clients are receiving the high-quality service they expect. We focus on talent and skills, not postcode. The role will require a significant amount of site work as well as working closely with other ecologists, clients and colleagues from other teams so may require some time at an office or alternative working space to suit those involved.
We are very happy to discuss flexible working for this role, including the possibility of reduced or compressed hours and flexible start or finish times. We can offer a range of solutions to help you get the most out of your work / life balance. If the timing’s not quite right for you, please do still get in touch as we will always consider deferring the start date for the right candidate.
