Ecologist : Milton Keynes
A growing environmental consultancy is opening a brand new office near Milton Keynes and they're looking for an Ecologist to join the team. This is an opportunity to become one of the founding members of a new team, helping shape the culture, influence projects and build something from the ground up. Working across a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, infrastructure and conservation projects, the successful candidate will have the freedom to manage their own workload while collaborating with experienced colleagues across the wider business. From protected species surveys and habitat assessments to report writing and client liaison, no two weeks will look the same.
This role would suit someone who enjoys balancing fieldwork with technical expertise, values high-quality ecological outcomes and wants to be part of a company where ideas are listened to rather than lost in layers of management.
