We have an exciting opening for a Graduate Ecologist to join our Environment and Planning
Services team. If you are looking to start your career within the water industry, then this
would be a great opportunity for you!
Although based in Bath, this role will require you to travel throughout the region on a regular
basis. We also offer flexible working, allowing you to work from home some of the time, if
preferred, as well as in our office.
What you’ll do
Our Environment and Planning Services team, which includes the Ecology team, provides a wide
range of environmental support to our engineering and construction colleagues to facilitate the
delivery of our capital programme.
Our Ecologists deliver a range of services, including ecological surveys, ecological impact
assessments, protected species work, and mitigation and construction support.
The Ecology team supports a diverse range of projects and enjoys the satisfaction of working on
and influencing projects from outline design through to completion.
Supporting our agreed rolling five-year programmes of work, all within the Wessex Water region,
and working closely with our in-house design teams, our Ecologists spend the majority of their
working time doing the ecology work they love and enjoy a good work/life balance.
Long-distance travel and supporting fee proposals are not a feature of this role. As a Graduate
Trainee Ecologist, you will undertake ecological assessments of capital programme schemes, as
well as schemes of your own.
You will also work with the team to provide ecological advice to engineering, construction and
operational staff to ensure we meet current legislation and our environmental policy in the
development of assets.
What you’ll need
To be considered for this exciting opportunity you will have:
It would be advantageous for you to hold or be working towards any protected species survey
licences (for example, great crested newts and bats) and have experience with GIS systems
(ArcGIS).
Due to the nature of travelling around the Wessex Water region, which in some cases can be very
rural, a full clean driving licence and access to own transport is essential.
What you’ll receive
Total pension contributions up to 20%.
Who we are
We are one of the top-performing water and sewerage companies in England and Wales, serving 2.9
million people across the South West.
The work we do goes beyond providing an essential public service. We also aim to have a
positive impact on the communities we serve and the natural environment.
Our people tell us Wessex Water is a great place to work, which is why so many of them stay
with us! You will have the opportunity to develop and progress your career, while also
receiving health and wellbeing support.
We also continue to promote diversity and inclusion – with that in mind, all applicants are
welcome. We are delighted to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant and are a Disability
Confident Employer.
This is an exciting opportunity to join us and if you would like to be part of our journey, we
would love to hear from you. Please do not hesitate to let us know about any additional support
you may need.
