Ecologists, Project Officer and Senior Ecologists

Looking for an Ecology Role Where Your Work Makes a Difference?

Not every career move needs to be about climbing the ladder. Sometimes it's about finding the right people, interesting projects and an organisation whose values align with your own.

Ocean to Earth Recruitment is partnering with an established, conservation-focused ecological consultancy looking to grow its South Coast team.

We're looking for Ecological Project Officers, Ecological Consultants and Senior Ecological Consultants who want to develop their careers while contributing to biodiversity protection, habitat enhancement and nature recovery.

With over 30 years of experience and a team of more than 120 environmental professionals, this consultancy offers the expertise and resources of a national organisation alongside a genuine commitment to its people and the natural environment.

Importantly, profits are reinvested into wildlife conservation, helping to support practical action for nature.

What Could Your Role Look Like?

Your responsibilities will depend on your experience and interests, but could include:

• Undertaking UKHab surveys and ecological assessments.

• Preparing ecological reports to support planning applications.

• Delivering Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) assessments.

• Developing ecological mitigation and enhancement recommendations.

• Managing projects and building relationships with clients.

• Working alongside experienced ecologists and developing your technical expertise.

Whether you enjoy fieldwork, technical reporting, project management or a combination of these, there are opportunities to develop your strengths.

Who Would This Suit?

We're interested in speaking with Ecologists at different stages of their careers.

Ideally, you'll have experience or qualifications in ecology, with skills in UKHab surveys, BNG assessments or ecological consultancy.

Good communication, organisation and a full UK driving licence are important.

Protected species licences and a CSCS card would be beneficial but aren't essential.

Above all, we're looking for people who care about delivering good ecological work and want to be part of a collaborative, supportive team.

What Makes This Opportunity Worth Exploring?

• Flexible and remote working arrangements.

• Paid overtime and Time Off in Lieu (TOIL).

• 24 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service.

• An additional two weeks' paid leave after six years' service, with further long-service awards.

• 7% employer pension contribution.

• Discretionary performance-related bonus.

• Employee Assistance Programme.

• Extensive training and professional development.

• Opportunities to progress within an established ecological consultancy.

• The chance to work for an organisation that reinvests profits into wildlife conservation.

Your Next Step

If you're an Ecologist based in Hampshire or the surrounding South Coast region, I'd be happy to tell you more about the team, projects and opportunities available.

You don't need to be actively looking for a new role. Sometimes an informal conversation is simply a useful way to understand what else might be out there.
