Lead the Future of Nature Services Across Ireland

Are you an experienced environmental leader looking for an opportunity to shape the future of Nature Services across the island of Ireland?

We're seeking a Regional Lead to provide strategic leadership across our growing ecology and environmental teams in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. This is a high-profile leadership role where you'll influence business growth, strengthen client relationships, develop talented teams and help deliver some of the region's most important environmental and infrastructure projects.

You'll bring together technical excellence, commercial performance and people leadership to create a thriving, collaborative and high-performing business.

As Regional Lead, you'll be responsible for leading our multidisciplinary Nature Services teams across Ireland, ensuring outstanding project delivery, strong financial performance and an inclusive culture where people can do their best work.

Working closely with the Service Line Director and senior leaders across the business, you'll help drive our regional growth strategy and strengthen our position as a trusted partner to clients tackling some of today's most complex environmental challenges.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading and inspiring ecology and environmental teams across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
  • Creating an inclusive, engaging and high-performing culture where people can thrive and develop.
  • Championing health, safety, wellbeing and flexible working.
  • Overseeing the successful delivery of projects, ensuring quality, profitability and operational excellence.
  • Providing senior technical leadership, governance and quality assurance.
  • Building and maintaining trusted relationships with clients, regulators and key stakeholders.

  • Driving collaboration across teams, service lines and geographies to deliver a truly integrated all-Ireland service.

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.
