Who are we?
Darwin Ecology is an established ecological consultancy.
We’re known for providing professional, innovative and conservation-led schemes. The company thrives on collaboration between our three offices in Bristol, Farnham (Surrey) and Shaftesbury (Dorset). Together, we design and create bespoke solutions for our clients across Southern England.
As an ecology consultancy, our role is to help you realise your development ambitions, guide you through the planning process and deliver our core ‘integrated conservation’ ethos. We achieve this on every project by protecting, mitigating and enhancing wildlife opportunities as part of the built environment.
Educating the people we work with, enhancing their careers and motivating them to share our vision of a wilder future is an important part of working at Darwin Ecology.
What makes us different?
A big part of Darwin Ecology’s ethos is getting stuck in. We take a hands-on approach to mitigation and enhancement measures during the final stages of a project. If you enjoy designing bespoke solutions to on-site problems, you’ll be at home here. We encourage our team to get creative and think outside the box.
We’ll strengthen your existing specialisms and support you as you explore new passions and directions.
But what’s work without perks? As a Darwin Ecologist, you’ll be invited to seasonal meals out with the team, frequent training events and mid- and end-of-season parties. We also have a generous bonus scheme on top of annual salaries.
