The Role

As Tetra Tech builds on its demonstrable track record as one of the leading global environmental consultancies, we are seeking a talentedsenior ecologist with ornithology experience to join our national team. With ambitions to grow our UK presence to emulate the success of the global business, we are looking for an experienced ornithologist to join our established network of over 95 ecologists with the energy to contribute to a diverse project portfolio.

We are looking for an ornithologist who has experience of projects across diverse sectors, with the confidence to liaise with clients and stakeholders and a desire to manage / mentor other members of the team. Project management and the ability to deliver multiple projects to high client expectations within fixed deadlines is an essential requirement of the role. Candidates keen to mentor junior staff are highly desirable, as well those who are proactive at collaborating, have good financial awareness and can efficiently review technical reports. A relevant degree or previous consultancy experience, full driving licence, membership of (or eligibility to join) CIEEM and a legal entitlement to work in the UK are essential for this role.

We encourage our ecologists to lead on projects that align with their technical skillset and expertise and will provide inhouse project management training and an array of technical training. With an eye for detail and a desire to deliver to high standards, a key element of this role will be to provide support and feedback to colleagues on project deliverables, drawing on the knowledge of our technical experts to develop the best solutions. Given the variety of projects we work on, the Senior Ornithologist would need to have strong field skills and ambitions to develop their technical skills in line with project requirements. It would be beneficial if the individual has other skills and experience outside of ornithology too.

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 95 Permanent Ecologists, We Can Draw On The Knowledge Of Our Technical Experts To Develop The Best Solutions. Examples Of Projects We Currently Work On Include

• Breeding bird surveys or large greenfield sites including Local Wildlife Sites
  
  

• Multi-award winning ecology team; recently winning CIEEM Large Consultancy of the Year and Large Scale Mitigation project in 2023.
• Over 95 permanent ecologists across 13 offices working as one cohesive team.
• Time away from home minimised.
• IT systems allow seamless remote and flexible working, so proximity to an office is not a barrier– we focus on talents & skills, not postcode. Our ecologists can work on the projects that interest them and deliver them to the highest standards.
• Cars or car allowances to every member of the team regardless of grade, including for personal use.
• Established TOIL system to allow time management to suit specific personal needs alongside seasonal demands.
• Career frameworks provide clarity on how to progress.
• We encourage the development of well-rounded ecologists who can talk about all stages of a project. We offer extensive internal and external training and mentoring, including from our inhouse experts along with all team face to face training.
• Bat handling licence incentivisation scheme to thank ecologists who spend time and effort in achieving their licence - we know it's not easy!
• And to show our support of personal development, we award a significant financial bonus to anyone achieving Chartered Environmentalist/Ecologist status through CIEEM.
• We work closely with many other teams, including our own Planners, Archaeologists, Landscape Architects, Masterplanners and Engineers. With a culture of openness, there is always someone within the business who can provide advice and support for almost any query.
