Team Testimonials

“In the short time I’ve been working at GE Consulting, the opportunities I have been presented with have been above and beyond what I had expected. Our regular company wide meetings mean that we come together as a team and further our ecological understanding, ensuring that everyone is on the same page on topics from Biodiversity Net Gain to protected species, and all have the chance to raises questions or suggestions about practice and procedure. Every day I am tackling something new and learning as I go, knowing that, if needed, I can rely on the wealth of experience present in the office for support.”

Jake – Assistant Ecologist (Exeter)

“I joined GE Consulting seven months ago and was initially attracted to the company by their reputation for being at the forefront of Biodiversity Net Gain; and for delivering an all-round professional service on a diverse range of projects – this reputation is well deserved. What I have also discovered is the genuinely positive, supportive culture within the company where maintaining work-life balance is mandatory. All staff here are made to feel valued and treated with trust and respect, and there is a real emphasis on providing a high-quality service to our clients without overwhelming the team. With twice-monthly in-house training and a well thought out mentoring scheme for progression is actively encouraged, to ensure that you have the career that you want and deserve through gaining the skills and experience needed to succeed.”

Helen – Senior Ecologist (Exeter)

“From sub-contracting for GE since 2018 to becoming a full-time member of staff in 2022, I’ve always felt part of a welcoming and supportive team and surrounded by experience and inspiration. A huge variety of projects keeps every day interesting and there are numerous opportunities to learn and progress, at your own pace.”
