🦋 Play a leading role in protecting British wildlife with ADAS
We’re looking for a Principal Ecological Consultant to join our growing ecology team, based in Leeds.
As a Principal Ecological Consultant at ADAS, you will take on a regional leadership role, overseeing the delivery of high-quality ecological services across a diverse portfolio of infrastructure and development projects. Working with utility companies and developers, you will provide trusted, strategic advice on how to balance project delivery with environmental protection.
You will lead on complex projects, offering clear technical direction, overseeing surveys and assessments, and ensuring compliance with wildlife legislation and best practice. In addition, you will play a key role in managing and developing a team of ecologists—providing mentorship, technical guidance, and performance support to help others grow in their careers.
As a regional leader, you will help shape project pipelines, support business development activities, and strengthen client relationships across the North. Your ability to combine technical excellence with leadership and commercial awareness will be key to success in this role.
We envision this role as a hybrid position, combining time working from home, on-site visits, and collaboration with colleagues in the office. From day one, you’ll be part of a supportive and collaborative team environment.
We’re committed to supporting a healthy work-life balance, offering flexible working arrangements and opportunities to volunteer for causes that matter to you.
Looking ahead, we will support your continued professional development, including chartership progression, specialist training, and opportunities to further develop your leadership and management skills.
If you’re an experienced ecologist ready to step into a visible leadership role, bringing expertise, passion, and a proactive approach, we’d love to hear from you.
