About the Role

Looking to build your ecological career in a friendly, supportive consultancy?

We’re representing a small but growing Midlands-based ecological consultancy with a passion for the natural world and protecting UK wildlife. Known for providing practical, high-quality ecological advice, the team supports a wide range of clients across housing, rural smallholdings, and light industrial projects.


Why Join?

🌿 Real variety – PEAs, PRAs, BNG, HSI, and protected species surveys (reptiles, badgers, water voles, otters & more).
💡 Supportive environment – informal, collaborative, and passionate about ecology.
📈 Opportunities to grow – plenty of scope for career development and new responsibilities.
🌍 Work-life balance – a genuine 4-day working week.


This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to develop their skills, work on diverse projects, and be part of a consultancy where ecology, people, and flexibility come first.
