Senior Ecologist – Exclusive Hire | Central Belt (Glasgow / Edinburgh)

We're not here to waste your time with generic job ads. This is not "just another ecology role."

Our client, a respected, long-standing environmental consultancy with decades of delivery across renewables, infrastructure and nature-based projects, has chosen us as their exclusive hiring partner to find their next Senior Ecologist.

If you're an experienced ecologist who's tired of cookie-cutter roles and wants to step into a position with real influence, read on.

What's on offer

  • Salary £40k – £45k (DOE) + benefits designed around
    you
  • Hybrid working (2 days remote) + a 35-hour working week
  • Annual salary reviews + training allowance tailored to your growth
  • 25+ days leave (with flexibility around bank holidays)
  • Pension up to 8%, professional subscriptions, volunteer days, cycle to work, and wellbeing support

What you'll actually be doing

  • Lead on habitat & species surveys across diverse projects (renewables, ports, infrastructure, sustainable development)
  • Deliver high-quality ecological reports & mitigation design that shape outcomes for clients and communities
  • Take ownership of small–medium projects & play a key role in major schemes across Scotland
  • Influence stakeholders, regulators, contractors & partners to deliver better environmental results
  • Mentor junior colleagues & grow your own leadership profile

We're looking for

  • Relevant degree + proven consultancy experience (4+ yrs ideally)
  • Strong knowledge of UK ecology legislation & survey techniques (bats / mammals / GCN / botany all welcome)
  • Experience with HRA, EcIA, EIA chapters
  • Client-facing confidence + clear, persuasive report writing
  • Desire to step into a role where your expertise is
    listened to

Why this role?

Because it's not just about "clocking in", you'll join a tight-knit team that balances meaningful work with good laughs, real collaboration, and a chance to shape projects from the ground up.

This is consultancy done
properly,
respected, sustainable, and invested in people.
