The KTP brings together the scientific expertise of HAU, one of the UK’s leading specialist agricultural and environmental universities, with RES’s long-established reputation and influence in the field of entomology. As the KTP Associate, you will be based at RES headquarters in London while receiving academic supervision and access to specialist expertise from HAU.

About the Role

You will take the lead in designing, testing and launching a commercially viable consultancy service that translates research driven entomological and environmental knowledge into practical, market ready solutions for sectors such as agriculture, conservation, ecological assessment and land management. This will involve shaping the consultancy from concept through to implementation exploring commercial opportunities, modelling service propositions, building internal capability and ensuring that all new deliverables are robust, credible and sustainable.

Your work will involve combining strategic insight with hands on delivery. You will work closely with RES leaders, engage with stakeholders across industry, NGOs and academia, and act as the bridge between scientific expertise and the practical needs of clients and partners. This is a role for someone who enjoys responsibility, embraces innovation and can confidently communicate across diverse professional settings.

Skills and Experience

A degree in business, environmental management, agricultural business or entomology is required together with strong analytical abilities, commercial awareness and the confidence to lead initiatives. Experience in consultancy, environmental or agricultural sectors, or in developing new services or business models, is advantageous but not essential. Most importantly, we are looking for a motivated self-starter who brings initiative, resilience and the ability to build constructive relationships across multiple organisations.

A major benefit of the KTP model is professional development. You will spend 10% of your time on your own training, supported by a £2,000 annual budget. You will also have access to national KTP training, leadership and innovation development opportunities, as well as industry mentoring.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a tangible contribution to the future of a national organisation and to influence how insect science informs environmental and agricultural practice.
