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 95 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 95 ecologists, we can draw on the knowledge of our technical experts to develop the best solutions.

Tetra Tech’s ecology team won the CIEEM Large Consultancy of the Year Award in 2023 and 2025 and Large Scale Mitigation Award in 2023.

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.

• 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.
