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 is leading the way in Nature Services and seeks talented individuals to join our Ecology Team. Together with our clients, we aim to integrate nature into all developments to build a better future. We pride ourselves on high standards and are at the forefront of ecological advice, having written guidance, delivered training on BNG, and contributed to CIEEM’s raising standards documents.
We’ve developed innovative tools to efficiently manage ecological data, allowing our team to focus on making a difference. We’ve provided biodiversity advice to improve NHS hospitals, delivered nature-based solutions for water treatment and flood management, and overseen the production of a Local Nature Recovery Strategy. With a large portfolio of projects and a healthy forward-order book, there are fantastic opportunities for ecologists at all levels.
The East of England Ecology Team, spread across Norwich and Cambridge offices, consists of 22 members from Graduate to Technical Director Level. The Cambridge office is close to the train station, and the Norwich office is newly located at Broadland Business Park.
Joining our team at Associate Ecologist level, you will primarily be office-based but may engage in site work in your area of expertise. As a proudly employee-owned business, we benefit our clients, communities, and each other. Our success enables us to create a space where everyone feels empowered, included, and valued. We believe taking care of our people takes care of business.
Once settled, you will share responsibility for staff wellbeing, mentoring, and career development for the East of England Ecology Team and line manage some team members. You will work with the Regional Lead, Area Lead, and UK Ecology Team Lead to manage utilisation, appointments, training, and recruitment needs. Regular team briefings/meetings will ensure effective management and communication.
Projects span all stages of a project’s life cycle, offering opportunities to influence scheme design, enhancements, and promote best practices. Although part of the East of England ecology team, you will be connected to a larger team of ecologists with excellent career progression opportunities.
Whatever your ambition, Mott MacDonald is where people come to be brilliant. The role suits a dynamic, proactive team-player who wants to support the delivery of ecology services in a fast-moving, client-focused, commercial environment.
