3 weeks ago


Edinburgh, United Kingdom Tetra Tech Full time

Are you an SNH bat survey licence holder looking for diverse and interesting projects on which to make a difference? Or an experienced Consultant Ecologist ambitious to make a step up with the support of a diverse network of ecology experts and underpinned by a defined career pathway?

Who is Tetra Tech?

Tetra Tech is a leading provider of high-end consulting and engineering services for projects worldwide. We combine the resources of a global, multibillion dollar company with local, client-focused delivery in more than 400 locations around the world. We are Leading with Science® to provide sustainable and resilient solutions for our clients.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. They help our clients succeed, our business prosper and the communities we work in thrive. We need the very best designers, project managers, engineers, surveyors, town planners, environmental specialists and business service professionals to maintain our reputation as a market leader. We do this by taking care of our people; offering fantastic flexible benefits, providing personal and professional development, and giving employees the opportunity to work on exciting and ground-breaking projects.

We don’t want Tetra Tech to be just your next role, we want it to be a step-change in your career and ultimately a move that you are proud to have made.

The Role

As Tetra Tech builds on its demonstrable track record as one of the leading global Environmental consultancies, we are seeking a talented and ambitious bat-licensed ecologist to work on projects across a diversity of sectors and specialisms, based in Scotland. With ambitions to grow our UK presence to emulate the success of the global business, we are looking for an experienced ecologist to join our established network of over 70 ecologists. The ecologist will be given ownership of projects, with the opportunity to engage with our high-profile clients, whilst receiving support from our ecological experts.

We encourage our ecologists to lead on projects that align with their technical skillset and expertise and will provide inhouse Project Management training and an array of technical training. With support from the regional and national ecology teams and experts, and in line with our defined career framework, general development of expertise across many areas of ecology as well as technical specialisms, including bats, will be encouraged. We have technical leads within the national team who can mentor and provide advice in key areas. We show our support for professional development through the provision of training, plus bonuses for achieving bat licences and charterships.

The role is varied and includes the completion of a wide range of field surveys over the busy survey season, alongside office-based work such as data analysis, report writing, survey planning, and attendance at team meetings. Site-based training, shadowing and mentoring, and online project management and report-writing training will be provided in line with career aspirations and our career development framework. There will be opportunities to be involved with surveys and mitigation schemes for bats, badgers, water voles, otters and birds. In addition, the team is also working on sites requiring Nutrient Assessments, Habitat Regulations Assessment and Ecological Mitigation and Management Plans with the opportunity for the ecologist to become actively involved on the ground.

The role will require work with colleagues from across the wider business on multi-disciplinary opportunities and projects so a willingness to understand how other parts of the business work would be advantageous. Our success is, in part, due to our established and long-lasting relationships with clients and the role will involve working closely with clients across a range of sectors including Residential, Defence, Infrastructure, Energy and Government Services.

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 site work as well as working closely with ecologists, clients and colleagues from other teams so will 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. We are supportive of flexible working but will require you to attend offices, events or sites as necessary to deliver the role.

Given the variety of projects we work on, we are looking for a Ecologist who has strong field experience and ambitions to develop their technical skills in line with project requirements. With support from the regional and national ecology teams, and in line with
