Who We Are

At Network Rail, we're the publicly owned operator of Britain's rail infrastructure.

We're trusted custodians of one of our nation's most critical public assets : Scotland's Railway.

We keep Scotland moving - connecting people and places, supporting businesses, public services and communities - driving economic, social and environmental success.

Our work spans almost 20% of the UK network and between 2024 and 2029, we're investing £4.8 billion to enhance our stations and routes, supporting new passenger and freight rolling stock.

Working together with train operators, our investment will mean a more reliable, climate resilient railway; a better customer experience; and greener, more sustainable travel that links cities, towns, urban and rural communities with each other and with the wider UK.

But it's our people who make this progress possible. At Network Rail Scotland, you'll find an inclusive, supportive and flexible working culture where your ideas are valued, your growth is encouraged, and your impact is real. Join us.

This is your railway - and it's moving forward. For more information about Network Rail click here.

About the role

Network Rail are looking for an Assistant Ecologist to join our growing in-house ecology team. In this hands-on role, you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of ecological services across the rail network in Scotland.

The varied role offers a range of fieldwork and desk-based tasks, including desk studies, ecological surveys, data collection, reporting and mapping, which will be undertaken across the rail network in Scotland. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual to learn from the experienced in-house team, develop practical field skills and gain valuable experience of applying their ecological knowledge within a major infrastructure organisation. You will work collaboratively with the ecology and sustainability teams to help protect and enhance biodiversity across Scotland's railway network.

Salary: Starting at £28,000 and rising to £29,000 per annum.

Closing date: Midnight of 22 nd of July 2026. Late applications will not be accepted.

Please get your application in as soon as possible, we may close the advert before the listed closing date if we receive enough applications. Late applications will not be accepted.

We're dedicated to creating an inclusive environment and we welcome applications from everyone! Network Rail is a Disability Confident Leader and we'll try our best to adapt the process and offer a reasonable alternative to help support people with disabilities access, apply and interview for roles.

You can visit Evenbreak's Career Hive for advice on accessibility support if you're unsure of the options available. Should you require any reasonable adjustments/modifications, please add a note to your application.

All offers of employment are conditional upon satisfactory completion of pre-employment checks.

Undertake basic desk studies to help identify required future ecological input for projects and help gather relevant ecological data.

A degree in Ecology, Zoology, Biological Sciences, or other relevant subject area
Experience of undertaking a basic baseline ecology survey, including those for protected species and habitats
Experience of supporting the production of robust ecological technical reports
Good understanding of UK and European wildlife legislation
Strong written and verbal skills
