EQUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION

We put equality, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of our business, seeking to promote fair employment procedures and practices to ensure equal opportunities for all. We encourage individual expression in our workplace and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels they can contribute.

Mott MacDonald are leading the way in Nature Services and we are looking for people to join our Ecology Team and to play their part in integrating nature into all developments with our clients so we can build a better future. We pride ourselves on setting and maintaining high standards and are at the forefront of providing ecological advice. Our team has written guidance and delivered training on BNG and contributed to CIEEM’s raising standards documents.
We’ve developed innovative tools to more robustly and efficiently collect and manage ecological data to enable our team to focus on really making a difference. We’ve provided detailed biodiversity advice to improve NHS hospitals for people and the planet, we’re delivering Nature-based solutions for water treatment and flood management and we’re over-seeing the production of a Local Nature Recovery Strategy. We have a large portfolio of projects and a healthy forward-order book bringing with it fantastic opportunities for Ecologists at all levels.
Our Cardiff office clients include Welsh Water, Transport for Wales, Association of British Ports (ABP), Local Planning Authorities and NMWTRA, with projects predominantly in South Wales but also covering Mid and North Wales. We are a team of 10 ecologists but work closely with our 160 colleagues across the UK. Joining our team at Ecologist level you will have a balance of office-based and site work. You will lead ecology surveys (appropriate to your skills), manage field data and deliver technical reports. You will have the opportunity to expand your experience by working with our technical specialists and / or managing small-scale projects with senior staff.
The projects you will be working on can span all stages of a project’s life cycle, from design conception to implementation; giving opportunities to positively influence scheme design, and enhancements and promote best practice. Although you will be a member of the Cardiff ecology team, you will also be linked to a much larger team of ecologists. There are excellent opportunities to progress your career through promotion, as well as develop a key role within our ecology team.
The role will suit a dynamic, proactive team-player who wants to work in a growth area of the business and help with the delivery of ecology services in a fast-moving, client-focused, commercial environment.
