Ecology jobs in South East England

The South East England ecology jobs market

The South East ecology jobs market — Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire — is one of the most consistently busy in the UK. Our ecology team works with consultancies based across the region and London-headquartered firms hiring South East-based ecologists.

South East ecology jobs are dominated by housing-led BNG, EcIA on large mixed-use schemes, Solent and Nutrient Neutrality work, plus a substantial pipeline of infrastructure (Lower Thames Crossing, Gatwick, rail upgrades). Salaries sit between London and the regions.

Where we recruit: Reading, Guildford, Brighton, Southampton, Portsmouth, Oxford and Milton Keynes.

Sectors driving demand: housing, mixed-use, aviation, rail and Solent / nutrient neutrality.

Working with our ecology team on South East England ecology jobs

Our ecology team only recruits ecologists into ecological consultancy and in-house environment teams. That focus matters in South East England: 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 South East England 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.
