Thanks for your interest in the Principal Ecologist - South East position. Unfortunately this position has been closed but you can search our 1,595 open jobs by clicking here.

Given the variety of projects we work on, we are looking for a Principal Ecologist who can confidently adapt their technical knowledge to specific client and project requirements.  With support from the regional Ecology Lead and the wider national team, and in line with our defined career framework, they will develop their expertise and business in a particular technical area - of specific relevance to the South-East team would be EcIA, HRA, Biodiversity Net Gain or European Protected Species expertise, especially bats. They will be able to provide direction to ensure technical report quality, health and safety management and budget control. 

 

Projects will predominately be focused in the south-east region including London, Guildford 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 site work as well as working closely with the regional lead, mentoring and managing other ecologists and developing relationships with 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.
