About the Role

At Ocean to Earth Recruitment, we connect passionate people with careers that protect and restore the natural world. Guided by our vision to elevate green growth, we partner with organisations that help nature and business thrive together.


The Opportunity

We’re excited to offer an opportunity for an Ecological Consultant to join a leading terrestrial ecology team in the UK. Working across Leeds and Kenilworth, you’ll play a key role in delivering impactful ecological projects that make a real difference for biodiversity and sustainability.

You’ll enjoy a varied role that combines fieldwork, project coordination, and client collaboration — with travel and overnight stays during the survey season. If you’re driven by curiosity, purpose, and a love for the environment, this is your next step.


Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct terrestrial ecology surveys and assessments

  • Manage and coordinate projects from planning to delivery

  • Build strong relationships with clients and colleagues

  • Produce clear, accurate ecological reports

  • Support sustainable and nature-positive outcomes


What We’re Looking For

Essential:

  • Experience in ecological or environmental consultancy

  • Degree or postgraduate qualification in ecology or related subject

  • Strong field skills and understanding of ecological legislation

  • Excellent written and verbal communication

  • UK driving licence and willingness to travel

  • Membership or eligibility for CIEEM

Desirable:

  • Protected species licences (GCN, bat, dormouse)

  • Ornithological or botanical expertise

All applicants must have the Right to Work in the UK.


What’s in It for You

  • 25 days annual leave

  • Healthcare cash plan, enhanced pension, and life insurance

  • Paid professional memberships and training opportunities

  • Clothing allowance and performance rewards

  • Supportive, flexible, and inclusive work culture

  • Opportunities to work on high-profile environmental projects


Inclusion Matters

We value diversity and inclusion in everything we do and encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds. Together, we can shape a greener, more sustainable future.
