About the Role
Devon-based Ecologists! Are you:
> Dreading another summer of burnout with endless night surveys, and back-to-back dusk/dawn work?
> Feeling isolated, lost in bureaucracy, or disconnected in a large organisation?
> Tired of corporate culture, or feeling your role is more about serving development than protecting wildlife?
> Not getting the flexibility you need - for childcare, health, personal development, or just life?
> Or simply craving a change of scenery and a supportive, down-to-earth team?
We're working with a wonderful independent consultancy looking for Senior team members to become part of their fantastic team in Okehampton!
Here's why you'll want to join them:
Healthy working practices - a clear TOIL policy, a strict cap on night work (max 1 per week for Consultants, less for Seniors & Principals), and flexible start/finish times. Part-time and compressed hours welcome too!
Real connection - Mondays are in-office days for the whole team - great for collaboration and a proper team vibe. The rest of the week? Office or WFH, it’s your call.
The workspace - Modern, spacious, dog-friendly office that's easy to get to in Okehampton, Devon
Local focus and purpose led - A great mix of projects working predominantly within Devon and Cornwall (with a little Dorset and Somerset mixed in), and a team that cares deeply about conservation, not just compliance
Personalised progression - Growth and development that's tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all approach
What we're looking for:

Degree-level qualification in a relevant subject and CIEEM membership
At least 4 years of UK ecological consultancy experience
Experience with UKHab, BNG Assessments, protected species surveys & mitigation
