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)

Ready to take the next step in your ecology career?
