Are you a passionate Ecologist seeking an exciting opportunity to elevate your career? Do you have some experience post-graduation and looking to contribute to impactful project work? Do you envision a role that allows you to embrace a hybrid work environment while engaging in fieldwork and establishing connections with clients?

We're actively seeking an Ecologist to join our rapidly growing team and play a pivotal role in expanding our terrestrial ecology services across the North-West of England to the Midlands . By joining our team, you'll be working alongside a diverse group of experts in both terrestrial and aquatic sciences. Our projects span the UK and encompass a wide spectrum, including collaborations with environmental and conservation agencies, water and energy industries, and various supporting services. Here, you'll not only specialise in terrestrial ecology but also have the chance to collaborate with professionals in fisheries science, hydrology, hydro/geomorphology, and water quality sectors.

As a key member of our team, you'll closely collaborate with our Senior and Principal Ecologists, delivering excellent ecological services to our clients. Your role will revolve around conducting terrestrial ecology site work and providing valuable support in the creation of comprehensive reports through data processing, analysis, and interpretation.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
