We're looking for a passionate and ambitious Team Lead to join our growing Ecology team. This is an exciting opportunity to lead a talented group of ecologists, drive project success and contribute to the wider leadership of the Ecology team. As a key member of the Ecology Leadership Group, you'll help shape the future of our service while continuing to apply your own technical expertise on complex and rewarding projects.

This role offers the perfect blend of:

  • People leadership and team development
  • Technical delivery and project oversight
  • Commercial and client engagement

You'll be empowered to make decisions, solve challenges, develop talent, and create a high-performing culture that enables both people and projects to thrive.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead and Inspire Your Team

You'll provide day-to-day leadership for the Cardiff team of ecologists, creating an environment where people feel supported, motivated, and empowered to perform at their best. You'll lead daily operations and project delivery ensuring high levels of performance through a collaborative and solution-focused culture. You’ll develop team members and champion wellbeing and a strong safety culture.

Deliver Technical Excellence

As an experienced Senior or Principal Ecologist, you'll continue to play an active role in project delivery and technical leadership. You’ll act as Project Manager or Project Principal on major projects, produce high-quality products and review technical work to maintain quality standards.

Drive Commercial Success

Working closely with colleagues you'll help secure new opportunities, preparing proposals and quotations. You will build strong and lasting client relationships.

Ready to Lead?

If you're looking for a role where you can inspire people, deliver exceptional work, and play a key part in the growth of a successful ecology business, we'd love to hear from you.

Qualifications

We're looking for someone who combines strong ecological expertise with a natural ability to lead and influence others.

You'll likely have:

  • Technical expertise within terrestrial ecology with an ecological degree or similar
  • Significant experience within ecological consultancy
  • Experience managing projects and client relationships
  • Strong leadership, coaching, and communication skills
  • Commercial awareness and an understanding of project profitability
  • A proactive and solution-focused mindset
  • The ability to balance technical excellence with operational delivery

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
