TEP is an environmental consultancy with a team of over 40 permanent ecologists. We have a variety of opportunities for ecologists to join us working on a wide range of interesting projects. We work with NGOs, government and commercial clients.

We are looking for ecology field surveyors to support our team for the 2025 survey season. Applicants should have a scientific background, but experience may range from recent graduates through to experienced ecologists including those holding protected species licenses (primarily for Great Crested Newts and Bats).

The core survey season is March to September. TEP operates throughout the UK but the work for which we are currently recruiting is predominantly in the Northwest and Midlands, based at either our Warrington or Market Harborough offices A full driving license and access to a vehicle is essential.

Following the selection day, interviews will be held the week of the 20th January.

Opportunities are available to join us on either a freelance or fixed-term contract basis from Spring to Autumn 2025. Candidates are invited to apply for either one or both positions. Freelance ecologists will work primarily on protected species nocturnal surveys and fixed term ecologists will gain experience working in the office environment alongside nocturnal survey work.

Following the Selection Day we will invite successful candidates to join our team either on a fixed-term contract or on a freelance basis to work with us. For those considered for fixed-term contract positions we will ask shortlisted candidates to attend a short interview to explain more about the role and understand each candidates experience and aspirations.
