Ecology Data and Project Manager (Nationwide)

Job description

Are you an ecologist with a particular interest in technology and data management, looking to be part of a successful team whilst maintaining a work life balance? Or looking to work on a greater diversity of projects where you can continue to develop your technical expertise whilst supporting colleagues?

About Tetra Tech:

Tetra Tech is a leading provider of high-end consulting and engineering services for projects worldwide. We combine the resources of a global, multibillion dollar company with local, client-focused delivery in more than 400 locations around the world. We are Leading with Science® to provide sustainable and resilient solutions for our clients. Tetra Tech Ecology team won the CIEEM Large Consultancy of the Year Award and Large Scale Mitigation Award in 2023.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. They help our clients succeed, our business prosper and the communities we work in thrive. We need the very best designers, project managers, engineers, surveyors, town planners, environmental specialists and business service professionals to maintain our reputation as a market leader. We do this by taking care of our people; offering fantastic flexible benefits, providing personal and professional development, and giving employees the opportunity to work on exciting and ground-breaking projects.

We don't want Tetra Tech to be just your next role, we want it to be a step-change in your career and ultimately a move that you are proud to have made.

The Role:

As Tetra Tech builds on its demonstrable track record as one of the leading global Environmental consultancies, we are seeking a talentedindividual to focus on project and data management and analysis. We are looking for an experienced ecologist to join our established network of over 95 ecologists with the energy and organisational skills to manage and deliver multiple projects alongside one another.

The main focus of this role is to support on major schemes which require extensive project and data management, including leading and coordinating analysis for bat data using software such as Analook W, Analook Insight and Bat Explorer. There will also be a requirement to use MotionMeerkat (or future software) to analyse infrared camera footage. The candidate will require a high level of knowledge of analysis software with expertise in species identification using sonograms. They will be required to work alongside our Bat Technical Excellence Group to continue developing our approaches to analysis and data management to fit with our Leading with Science® ethos.

The role will require a sound understanding of the technical aspects of ecological consultancy as well as commercial awareness in relation to communication, pricing for work and time management. It will require working closely with our Regional Leads and bat specialists and the provision of additional project management support to the wider ecological team.

Although predominately an office-based role, there will be opportunities to undertake fieldwork and there is an expectation that support will be provided to the Ecology team with field surveys when necessary.

With a passion to achieve the best Environmental outcomes on projects, the person in this role will be a confident and competent ecologist with a proven track record in bat data analysis and data management. However, we will encourage professional development in areas that align with your own aspirations as well as the Ecology, Environmental or Tetra Tech Group strategies. We will provide inhouse Project Management training and encourage you to lead on projects that align with your technical skillset.

Flexible Working:

We operate fully flexible, hybrid working which allows our team members to choose where, how and when they work as long as our clients are receiving the high-quality service they expect. We focus on talent and skills, not postcode, and encourage applicants from across the UK. However, the role involves working alongside other ecologists and colleagues and there will be a requirement to attend offices, events or sites as necessary.

We are very happy to discuss flexible working for this role, including the possibility of reduced or compressed hours and flexible start or finish times. We can offer a range of solutions to help you get the most out of your work / life balance. If the timing's not quite right for you, please do still get in touchas we will always consider deferring the start date for the right candidate.
