Why Join?

Ocean Ecology is recognised as one of the UK’s leading providers of marine ecological survey, laboratory, and consultancy services for projects in both the coastal and offshore zones. Since our inception in 2013 we have experienced significant growth recently bolstered through a merger with the Norwegian based technical consultancy Åkerblå Group and the establishment of new office locations in Oban and Plymouth. A role with us will provide you with the opportunity to work in and help shape a rapidly growing and dynamic organisation alongside a team of passionate software engineers. We offer industry competitive salaries commensurate with experience, with associated benefits including a flexible working policy, private health insurance and options for home working.
