Join a growing team
At Ethos, we believe that great ideas come from passionate, curious, and driven people. Whether your expertise is in ecology, biodiversity net gain, green space, nature-based solutions, or other environmental disciplines, we're always interested in hearing from talented individuals who share our values and vision. Founded in 2013 by Jim Phillips, Ethos Environmental Planning has grown into a dynamic consultancy. We are constantly adapting to evolving planning regulations and legislation and in 2024 we restructured to meet the rising demand for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). Our dedicated Ecology, BNG, and Green Space teams now work more efficiently while collaborating seamlessly on multidisciplinary projects to deliver practical, effective solutions.
Ethos is a great place to work: we offer a 9-day fortnight to support better work–life balance, regular social events to keep our team connected, and a strong focus on training and career development. You’ll join a collaborative, values-driven organisation where your work has real impact and your growth is supported every step of the way.
