Job description

Before we begin…

OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS: We won't make you jump through hoops or present to the Board - we prefer to keep things simple.

We have a relaxed approach to getting to know each other - an initial chat to talk through your CV, followed by a more structured interview with the line manager you'll be working with. We are being interviewed just as much as you, so we welcome your questions!

We believe passionately in the world’s transition to net zero, and our global coverage, international specialists and ‘trusted advisor’ approach have earned us an outstanding reputation with clients across sectors, technologies and geographies.

Our Values
This role is highly important in ensuring the business continues to thrive and grow, always with a view to our passionate aspiration of supporting the world’s transition to net zero. As with any role in the business, there will be a requirement for adaptability and flexibility, with an emphasis on our core values:

Background to the role
As part of our ongoing development, we are now seeking to complement our growing Ecology team with a small cohort of Graduate Consultants.

Based in Edinburgh, you will be working with our existing team of Ecologists and Environmental Planning experts. You will primarily be working alongside members of the Ecology team but also other members of the wider business, as required. This is a great opportunity to support the growth of an exciting consulting business working alongside a highly experienced team.

You will join the Graduate Development Programme, which has been designed to offer the best possible graduate training and support mechanisms to help guide you through the first two years of your career.

The programme covers a range of aspects and is structured to help you achieve competency/understanding across many aspects of the business and will offer you the chance to join the graduate network within the business, to support peer to peer learning.

  • A UK driving licence (preferred)
  • A willingness to work away from home as the role requires

You may also be asked to attend meetings or training events at our office locations, or travel to clients’ offices as project work requires. This may include overnight stays.
