We have a post for a full-time Ecological Consultant to join our small team, starting March/April 2027.
The role will include:
- Full-time based in our garden office in Little Bookham, near Leatherhead.
- You will need a full driver’s licence and your own car.
- Leading dusk emergence surveys (maximum 2 per week).
- Leading Preliminary Ecological Appraisals, and protected species surveys.
- Leading Preliminary Roost Assessments (PRAs) (Class I Bat Survey Licence required, or at least one year’s experience in conducting PRAs, with the view to being an Accredited Agent).
- Preparation of ecology reports, bat sound analysis and reviewing night-vision camera footage.
- Proficient use of Qfield and QGIS.
- Understanding of Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment, with the view to developing skills in this area.
Experience of managing projects (small-scale) is required.
We have quite a few dogs that join us in our newly renovated garden, and summerhouse office, so love of animals is important!
As a Registered Practice, we pride ourselves on our ethos of support, education, and kindness. We are looking for someone who can work closely with our small team.
It’s best if you live fairly near to us (ideally within 45 minutes’ drive), otherwise you will have long drives to and from site and the office, as well as long late-night drives after dusk emergence surveys.
We have three company vehicles.
Most of our projects are local, but some are based further afield, so some flexibility with longer journeys and overnight stays would be required.
Our normal day is from 9am to 5pm, although we offer flexible working hours, particularly in relation to dusk emergence surveys.
We offer TOIL for all hours worked over 7.5 hours per day.
We offer 25 days leave per annum (excluding bank holidays). We also offer mental health days.
There is flexibility with days working from home.
We offer unlimited training budgets, an additional day’s leave for birthdays and other benefits.
Salary is £30-35K per annum, depending on experience. We are ideally looking for someone with at least 2 or 3 years’ experience of working in a consultancy. Applicants will need to be at least Student or Qualifying member of CIEEM and have a relevant degree. We would love someone who wants to work their way up in the organization and help support junior team members and work experience students.
Applicants will be invited for an informal chat at our office.
We look forward to hearing from you!
