Testimonials

  • “I joined BSG Ecology at the end of 2024. During my time at BSG I have been encouraged to grow professionally through opportunities to work on interesting and complex projects and have always been encouraged to focus my progression on specific areas of ecology that are of interest to me. One thing that stands out is the variety of in-house training that is delivered across the company, as well as opportunities for additional external training tailored to your needs. I have been particularly impressed by the botanical training led by our in-house experts. I highly recommend BSG Ecology as a company to work for, and work with.”

    Naomi Eckersley, Ecologist

  • "Working for BSG there is such a range of sectors, clients and surveys that no two jobs are ever the same. There are always opportunities to gain experience in new areas, and a great support network of professionals and experts in the company, who are always happy provide help and advice. It’s always interesting, sometimes challenging and definitely rewarding. It’s great working for a company led by Ecologists who are invested in their staff and will actively encourage and support career progression."

Alongside project work, I am able to contribute to research projects, mentor new starters and continue to develop my field skills. I have also been given the opportunity to have a direct impact on company-wide business strategies through involvement in the Business Development & Marketing Group."

Every day at BSG Ecology is different, it is great to work at a company where innovation is important, skill sharing is encouraged and everyone is supportive of your personal progression.
