The Nature Unit comprises our Ecology and Natural Capital Practices, that champion the integration of nature into decision-making and project planning. By integrating our multi-disciplinary expertise in ecology, biodiversity net gain and natural capital, we offer a systems-based approach that recognises the need for nature positive solutions and re-naturalising infrastructure to meet net zero.

In the realm of decision-making and investment planning, our long-standing Natural Capital and Environmental Net Gain team has the track record to make an impact beyond corporate social responsibility. By integrating nature into the very fabric of decision processes, we maximise the value derived from sustainable practices and natural resources at a corporate and project level.

As a consultant in our team, you will be involved in research and analysis, combining desk studies with client contact including occasional visits to client offices, and delivering projects for public, private and third sector organisations both in the UK and internationally across a range of sectors including water, energy, agriculture, forestry, and transport.

You’ll employ your creativity to develop ideas and solutions to deliver effective environmental and sustainability outcomes and improved project performance.
