Project, Operations & Resourcing Manager (Ecology)
£28,000 – £38,000 | Wales, home-based | Full-time, permanent (part-time considered for right candidate)
About Ecoleg
Ecoleg is an ecological consultancy based in Wales. We deliver specialist surveys, licensing and Ecological Clerk of Works work across the rail network, highways and development sites — protected species surveys, tree climbing, rope access and vegetation clearance supervision — principally as the specialist partner for contractors and larger consultancies.
The business has grown substantially over the past two years. Three partners have carried that growth by handling project admin, scheduling, invoicing, supplier management and compliance alongside their own fee-earning work. We are now creating a dedicated role to take ownership of it.
The role
You will be the operational control point for how our ecological resource is planned, deployed, invoiced and kept compliant. Your responsibilities will include:
Planning and scheduling our field team — salaried and freelance — across concurrent contracts, balancing licensing, competency and geography. Managing our freelance ecologist network: sourcing, onboarding, rate agreement and performance. Owning invoicing end to end, ensuring completed work is billed accurately and on time. Maintaining licensing, insurance and compliance records to an audit-ready standard. Acting as the day-to-day point of contact for clients on scheduling and delivery. Developing the systems and processes that support a growing business.
What you would be walking into
This is a newly created role. There is no predecessor and no established way of doing things. You would be defining what the job becomes, with the support of the partners.
It is a fast-moving environment that changes at short notice. Programme and requirements change mid-project. As a small team there is no HR function, no IT department and no established process to fall back on. Competing priorities are routine, and the judgement about what genuinely comes first is part of the role.
The role is also expected to grow. There is real scope for it to develop into a broader operations or business management position as the business scales.
We are looking for someone who is energised rather than unsettled by that. If you want a settled remit with clear precedent, this is unlikely to be the right role. If you want to build something and own it, it may be an excellent fit.
