We're Hiring!

Who We Are

We are a growing, multidisciplinary environmental consultancy, bringing together ecologists, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) specialists, and arboricultural professionals. 


Our work focuses on delivering high-quality ecological surveys, impact assessment, and planning support, underpinned by strong field expertise and robust, consistent methodologies. 


We are committed to innovation, research, and continuous learning, recognising that the strongest ecological outcomes are built on developing knowledge, expanding expertise, and investing in the growth of our people. 


As a smaller consultancy, we offer a collaborative environment where individuals can contribute ideas, influence how we develop, and play a meaningful role in shaping the direction of the company. 

About the Roles

We are seeking motivated and detail-oriented Ecologists to join our growing team, supporting the delivery of ecological surveys and reporting across a diverse range of projects.


We are recruiting for positions across a range of experience levels, from Graduate Ecologists and Assistant Ecologists through to experienced Ecologists and Senior Ecologists. Responsibilities, project involvement, and levels of autonomy will be tailored to experience, with opportunities for development and progression at every stage.


This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on field survey work, alongside the preparation of Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs), Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIAs), and Habitat Regulations Assessments (HRAs).


The role is primarily home-based, with site visits undertaken as required. It offers a flexible balance between fieldwork and remote working, while maintaining a strong emphasis on practical, site-based ecology.


This position provides an opportunity not only to deliver high-quality ecological work but also to work closely with clients, contribute to knowledge sharing within the team, and help shape how we approach ecological services as a business. More experienced candidates will also have opportunities to lead projects, mentor colleagues, and contribute to the continued growth and development of the consultancy.
