Now Hiring: Assistant Ecologist
Full-Time | Hybrid (Office + WFH) | £25,000 - £30,000 (pro rata)
Newcastle
We're looking for an Assistant Ecologist to join a growing, values-driven consultancy that actually cares.
You'll plan and deliver surveys (bats, newts, badgers, birds - the whole lot), wrangle subcontractors, and support on Ecological Clerk of Works. You'll also get hands-on with maps, data, reports, and the occasional wellington boot emergency.
This role is for you if you have:
- Solid consultancy experience (must-have, not nice-to-have)
- Survey experience & protected species knowledge
- CIEEM Grad membership (or working on it)
- A full UK driving licence
- Report writing experience (as in, PEAs and PRAs) is incredibly useful
In return, you'll get:
- Health insurance & proper training support
- Flexible hours + hybrid working
- Bonus scheme & extra birthday day off
- A chance to shape real, meaningful work (minus the corporate nonsense)
