Team Lead Ecology and Habitats - Wales and West

At Ocean to Earth Recruitment, we’re delighted to be supporting a leading UK environmental consultancy in the search for a talented Team Leader to join their Wales & West regional team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take on a strategic leadership role within a purpose-led organisation dedicated to protecting the natural environment and supporting nature’s recovery.

🌱 About the Organisation

Our client is one of the UK's foremost consultancies working at the intersection of ecology, biodiversity, and nature-based solutions. Over the last few years, they’ve undergone a significant transformation – evolving into a vibrant, multi-disciplinary consultancy with biodiversity and environmental resilience at their core.

Now operating under a bold three-year Strategic Development Plan, they are investing in growth, innovation, and exceptional talent – and this hire is key to that journey.

🧭 The Role

As Team Leader, you will lead a regional team of technical specialists, overseeing the successful delivery of consultancy projects while fostering a positive and supportive team culture.

Key responsibilities include:

• Project & client management – leading the delivery of high-quality services from bid stage to completion

• Operational oversight – budget management, resource allocation, and ensuring project quality

You’ll work closely with senior leadership to help shape the future of the organisation while ensuring outstanding outcomes for both clients and the natural environment.
