Senior Ecological Consultant

Senior Ecologist – Help Us Give Nature a Voice

Are you the kind of person who can tell a meadow from a mitigation opportunity, spot a bat roost before anyone else notices, and get genuinely excited about a really good habitat map?

We’re looking for a
Senior Ecologist
to join our growing Ecology Team at
Lucion
— a team of people who believe that protecting nature isn’t just a job, it’s a mission.

At Lucion, we shine a light on environmental challenges and take action. We work with clients across a range of sectors to create safer, more sustainable places for people and the planet. Our work helps balance development with conservation, ensuring wildlife has a future alongside ours.

No two days will look the same. You could be:

• Leading ecological surveys and guiding projects from the first site visit to final report.
• Investigating protected species and uncovering the hidden wildlife stories of a site.
• Mapping habitats, assessing ecological value, and finding practical solutions.
• Turning field discoveries into clear, high-quality ecological reports.
• Working with clients, contractors, regulators, and communities to make good things happen.

Because we’re not just building projects — we’re helping shape a better future.

You’ll join a community built around:

• Integrity – doing the right thing, even when nobody is watching.
• Innovation – challenging old ways and finding smarter solutions.
• Trust – building relationships that last.
• Commitment – caring about quality and making an impact.
• Sustainability – protecting the world we all share.

You’ll already have experience in ecological consultancy and be comfortable taking the lead. You’ll bring:

• A relevant degree (2:1 or above).
• CIEEM membership (Associate level or above).
• 3+ years’ consultancy experience.
• At least one Natural England protected species licence.
• A full driving licence.

But beyond qualifications, we’re looking for someone curious, practical, and passionate about turning ecological challenges into opportunities.

Ready to make your mark?

If you want a role where your surveys, reports, ideas, and decisions genuinely help protect people and planet — we’d love to hear from you.

Come and help us make the invisible visible.
