About The Role:

Are you an experienced Ecologist with a passion for all things botanical?


Woodrow are looking to attract a Principal Ecologist to help drive forward the development and delivery of ecological consultancy, notably in terms of high-quality botanical strategy and work.

It will involve helping lead the direction of our botanical, habitat and land management work and ensuring exceptional quality fieldwork and impact assessment.

We are particularly interested in applicants with a high level in experience in botany, including Annex I habitat surveys and condition assessment.


As a senior professional within our team, as well as managing your own projects from inception to completion, you will be taking on greater responsibility for people and larger/more complex project management; as well as more aspects of people, technical, commercial and business development.

Your ecological knowledge, integrity and attention to detail will allow you to deliver high level survey, assessment and reporting and, together with our Project management team, deliver them on time.

You will be a mentor and manager to early career ecologists and become a key part of our team in a vibrant and enthusiastic team.


You will be offered the chance to work on a variety of projects, many of our employees have worked on projects that have been of personal interest to them.

We match this with a commitment to continuous development and learning to support your career.

We also offer benefits to look after you, from private medical insurance for all employees, access to mental health first aiders and comprehensive income protection if you cannot work.

We also offer superb flexible working options, balancing work with your life; in fact this role would be considered on a part-time basis for the right person.


Next steps
We are focused on creating a diverse and inclusive team.

If you can't tick every box on our job description, then we are still keen to hear from you and are open to supporting your development.

That may be working part time or supporting you to gain experience in a specific area - we are a growing company and are able to adapt roles to reflect individual skills.
