This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced ecological professional to join our European team at Senior or Associate level, ideally near one of our regional offices in Stirling, Edinburgh, or Glasgow.

We are also open to tailoring this role to you, including considering a home working option based in or near Inverness.

  • Liaising with other SLR technical teams on a variety of subjects including planning, landscape, hydrology, noise and air quality whilst working closely with senior members of the ecology team in other SLR offices, both in UK and overseas.
  • Contributing to coordinated business development to expand ecology and other services and capabilities in the region. The role will involve working with other team members located across the UK and may require short-term travel across the UK and potentially overseas, depending on client/project sites. About us
