Birmingham, United Kingdom Tetra Tech Full time

Are you an experienced ecologist looking to lead and nurture a successful team whilst maintaining a work life balance? Or looking to work on a greater diversity of projects where you can continue to develop your technical expertise whilst mentoring and supporting colleagues?

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.

As Tetra Tech builds on its demonstrable track record as one of the leading global Environmental consultancies, we are seeking a talented and experienced ecologist to lead our West Midlands team located in Birmingham. With ambitions to grow our UK presence to emulate the success of the global business, the team leader will join the70+ strong UK-based ecology team at a time when they can influence and shape the future of the business and when there are endless opportunities for career progression.

As a multidisciplinary consultancy, we work closely with colleagues from other teams including Planning, Placemaking, Engineering, Transportation and Asset Management including through the identification of opportunities, tendering and project delivery. The team leader will work on a broad spectrum of projects, liaise with other teams on a regular basis, and manage and support the East Midlands ecology team involvement through all stages of a project. They will have the ability to think on their feet, steer the direction of the regional team and inform the long-term goals of the national ecology team and wider business. This is a great opportunity for someone with vision and ambition.
We work across a breadth of sectors including Residential, Defence, Energy, Government Services and Transport. Examples of projects we currently work on in the Midlands region include:

- Large scale infrastructure projects including major highway improvements;
- Ecology surveys for renewable energy projects including solar farms and battery storage projects;
- Bat surveys and EPSLs for Local Planning Authorities;
- Large scale bat surveys, EPSLs and supervision to allow upgrade of military housing; and
- Ecology surveys and management plans for large strategic development sites.

Given the variety of projects we work on, we are looking for a talented ecologist who can confidently adapt their leadership and project management skills to develop client relationships and meet specific project requirements. As the regional team leader and an important contributor to the wider national team, and in line with our defined career framework, you will develop your own and the team’s expertise and business. You will be able to provide direction to ensure technical report quality, health and safety management and budget control.

Projects will predominately be focused in the Midlands region. However, 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 working closely with the Regional leads, mentoring and managing other ecologists and developing relationships with clients and colleagues from other teams so may require some time at an office or alternative working space to suit those involved.

About the team
- Over 70 permanent ecologists across 13 offices working as one cohesive team.
- Time away from home minimised.
- IT systems allow seamless remote and flexible working, so proximity to an office is not a barrier
- we focus on talents & skills, not postcode. Our ecologists can work on the projects that interest them and deliver them to the highest standards.
- Cars or car allowances to every member of the team regardless of grade, including for personal use.
- Established TOIL system to allow time management to suit specific personal needs alongside seasonal demands.
- Career frameworks provide clarity on how to progress.
- We encourage the development of well-rounded ecologists who can talk about all stages of a projec
