Are you a Project Manager with ecological or related experience, ready to take the next step in your career? We’re seeking an enthusiastic Consultant or Senior Ecology Project Manager to join the TEP Ecology team, with the role level aligned to your experience.

This role will suit Project Managers with around 3–4 years’ experience in an ecological or environmental setting, who are keen to broaden their responsibilities and play a key role in the successful delivery of projects.

Working closely with our Principal Ecology Project Manager, you’ll manage ecology projects for a wide range of clients across the UK. Our work spans the residential, urban regeneration, utilities infrastructure, commercial and leisure sectors, with opportunities to contribute to projects involving BNG off-site delivery, green infrastructure, conservation and restoration schemes, and strategic-level projects.

What you’ll be doing

Your role will include:

• Coordinating and supervising field staff
• Working collaboratively with environmental and design professionals
• Attending and contributing to meetings with clients and design teams
• Supporting clients through the complexities of ecology within the planning process

You’ll also have opportunities to contribute to fee proposals and support colleagues by providing guidance on project management queries.
