At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Your impact

➡️ This is your opportunity to help lead, shape and grow one of the UK’s most ambitious ecology teams, right at the heart of our Scotland practice, and leave a lasting mark on the future of sustainable infrastructure.

➡️ You won’t just be delivering projects. You’ll take on line management responsibilities and be helping set direction, influencing strategy, and building a high-performing team that plays a critical role in some of the most complex and high-profile developments across Scotland, the wider UK and Ireland.

➡️ From renewable energy and nuclear infrastructure to major transport and water programmes, your leadership will ensure ecology is at the forefront of decision-making - not an afterthought.

This is a role where your expertise, vision and leadership will be visible - and where you’ll have the platform to shape both projects and people at scale.

About the Opportunity

️ We’re looking for an experienced and driven Principal Ecologist or Associate Director to join our Scotland team and take on a pivotal leadership role within our UK ecology business.

️ You’ll work across an impressive portfolio of projects for clients including Transport Scotland, BEAR Scotland, Natural England, Low Carbon, Uisce Éireann and local authorities, while playing a central role in shaping the future of our ecology offering.

️ In this role, you will:

Help steer the strategic direction of the team, contributing to wider UK ecology leadership

Act as a trusted advisor - the go-to expert for clients, stakeholders and regulators

Lead high-value client relationships and represent Jacobs externally

Drive team growth, resilience and performance through strong, empathetic leadership

Oversee and guide EIA, Habitats Regulations Appraisal and biodiversity strategies

Design and lead ecological monitoring programmes and survey strategies

Work across disciplines to deliver integrated, innovative project solutions

Play a key role in identifying, bidding and winning new work

Champion your team internally, raising its profile across the wider business

️ This is a rare opportunity to step into a role where you can combine technical excellence, strategic thinking and people leadership - all while working on projects that truly matter.

Here's what you'll need

✅ A strong background in terrestrial ecology with significant industry experience

✅ Chartered status (or ready to achieve it)

✅ A strategic mindset, with the ability to contribute to senior leadership decisions

✅ Proven experience in line management, mentoring and developing teams

✅ Strong client-facing skills and confidence engaging with stakeholders and regulators

✅ A flexible approach, with willingness to travel across the UK and Ireland when needed

✅ A proactive, hands-on leadership style with strong self-awareness

✅ The ability to adapt and thrive across diverse, complex projects

You’re an experienced ecology leader who brings both credibility and vision.

We’d be especially excited if you bring experience in:

Innovative scoping of ecological inputs

Protected species licensing and Biodiversity enhancements

Project consenting and construction environments

Stakeholder and regulator engagement

Planning enquiries and examinations

But beyond experience, what really matters is your ability to think differently, challenge the status quo, and spot opportunities to improve how we deliver for our clients.

Why Join Now?

Because this is more than a leadership role - it’s your chance to define the future of ecology within a global organisation while working on projects that shape the world around us.

If you’re ready to lead, influence and grow at scale, we’d love to hear from you.
