Join the team!
Where your voice will be heard, your talent recognized and nurtured, and you’ll enjoy industry-leading training. Join us and help us to become the largest and most innovative environmental consultancy in the UK.
Whether you’re looking for full time employment or contract / casual work, we’d love to hear from you.
Challenging work, interesting projects
Everyday interesting, everyday learning – you’ll contribute to our diverse range of UK environmental projects. You’ll be working in one of our specialist teams: Arboriculture, Habitats Management, Terrestrial Ecology, Freshwater Ecology, Climate Change, EIA, Marine or GIS. It will be both challenging and rewarding.
Our training and development programme is industry-leading, with staff benefitting from our annual Winter training programme, Thomson Pathways programme for ecologists, and annual shadowing credits. You’ll access industry-accredited external trainings as well as in-house, peer led trainings.

Employee-owned and independent
It’s a level playing field at Thomson, where the people get the chance to own the company after one successful year with us. You don’t pay for this; you earn it and reap the rewards, as Thomson is an Employee Owned Trust.
We invest heavily in our people to develop internal talent, and the advancement opportunities are limitless. There’s no glass ceiling for anyone.
We’re a friendly and supportive bunch, united by our shared values, and committed to working collaboratively to achieve success.

Investing in futures
Thomson believes in building talent from the bottom up, providing many opportunities for graduates and investing in their training to become technical experts with progression opportunities to become the future leaders of Thomson.
