Ecology jobs in London

The London ecology jobs market

Ecology jobs in London cover everything from BNG assessments on city-centre redevelopment schemes to bat and bird surveys on the capital's parks, rivers and railway corridors. Our ecology team works with consultancies based in central London and across the M25, plus in-house environment teams at developers, infrastructure clients and major landowners.

London ecological consultancies tend to run lean, fast-moving project teams with a heavy weighting toward urban ecology, EcIA on large mixed-use schemes, BNG metric work and protected species mitigation around brownfield development. Salaries are typically the highest in the UK to reflect cost of living, and remote / hybrid working is now the norm rather than the exception.

Where we recruit: Central London, Canary Wharf, Croydon, Stratford, Kingston, Watford and the wider Home Counties commuter belt.

Sectors driving demand: residential development, commercial real estate, transport (TfL, HS2, Network Rail), utilities and Thames-side regeneration.

Working with our ecology team on London ecology jobs

Our ecology team only recruits ecologists into ecological consultancy and in-house environment teams. That focus matters in London: when you call us about a local ecology job, you are speaking to someone who already knows the hiring manager, the project mix, the salary banding and the realistic route to progression.

We will only put you forward for ecology jobs in London that genuinely match your licences, experience and target salary — and your CV is never sent to an ecological consultancy without your explicit permission for each role.
