Peak Ecology | Recruitment

At Peak Ecology we have a relaxed and friendly office, staffed with a dynamic team of highly competent, committed ecologists with a positive work ethic. Based in Bakewell in the heart of the Peak District, we work on a diverse range of projects across the country from individual homeowner applications to Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects, completing Ecological Impact Assessments, protected species surveys, and site supervision.

As a company, we take pride in what we do; Peak Ecology has gained an excellent reputation by delivering high quality professional work, whilst taking the well-being of our staff very seriously. As an ecologist, working away and working evenings is part of the job, but at Peak Ecology nobody is expected to work more than two evenings per week, on average. The majority of our work is local but when travel is required, we provide a hire car and a good budget for food and accommodation. We would grant you 26 annual leave days (pro rata) with a TOIL system and a company pension scheme.

Current Opportunities:

Our application window for seasonal ecologists, including the Graduate Internship, is currently closed. There may be further opportunities throughout the year for field ecologists; if you are interested in working with us, please keep an eye out on this page and our social media for updates.

We are always keen to speak to experienced professionals with a particular skillset or key protected species licences; if you are interested in discussing potential opportunities then contact us, either through enquiries@peakecology.co.uk or directly via one of our ecologists.
