The Role:
As Tetra Tech builds on its demonstrable track record as one of the leading global environmental consultancies, we are seeking a talented?senior ecologist with ornithology experience to join our national team.With ambitions to grow our UK presence to emulate the success of the global business, we are looking for an experienced ornithologist to join our established network of over 95 ecologists with the energy to contribute to a diverse project portfolio.
We are looking for an ornithologist who has experience of projects across diverse sectors, with the confidence to liaise with clients and stakeholders and a desire to manage / mentor other members of the team. Project management and the ability to deliver multiple projects to high client expectations within fixed deadlines is an essential requirement of the role. Candidates keen to mentor junior staff are highly desirable, as well those who are proactive at collaborating, have good financial awareness and can efficiently review technical reports. A relevant degree or previous consultancy experience, full driving licence, membership of (or eligibility to join) CIEEM and a legal entitlement to work in the UK are essential for this role.
We encourage our ecologists to lead on projects that align with their technical skillset and expertise and will provide inhouse project management training and an array of technical training.With an eye for detail and a desire to deliver to high standards, a key element of this role will be to provide support and feedback to colleagues on project deliverables, drawing on the knowledge of our technical experts to develop the best solutions. Given the variety of projects we work on, the Senior Ornithologist would need to have strong field skills and ambitions to develop their technical skills in line with project requirements.

Breeding bird surveys or large greenfield sites including Local Wildlife Sites
The role will require work with colleagues from across the wider business on multi-disciplinary opportunities and projects so a willingness to understand how other parts of the business work would be advantageous.Our success is, in part, due to our established and long-lasting relationships with clients and the role will involve working closely with clients across a range of sectors including Residential, Defence, Infrastructure, Energy and Government Services.
Flexible Working:
We operate fully flexible, hybrid working which allows our ecologists to choose where, how and when they work as long as our clients are receiving the high-quality service they expect.
