Shaping Environmental Management Plans - Work closely with senior environmental leaders during the pre-construction phase, helping develop, implement and manage environmental plans and controls across the project.
Building Trusted Stakeholder Relationships - Collaborate with project teams, contractor partners and major clients, influencing positive environmental outcomes and promoting best practice across all stages of delivery.
Driving Sustainability & Continuous Improvement - Support environmental reporting, carbon reduction initiatives and wider sustainability objectives, identifying opportunities to improve performance and create lasting environmental value.
Who They're Looking For:

Experienced Environmental Professional - You'll bring environmental experience from infrastructure, utilities, construction, renewables, waste or another regulated environment, ideally with around five years' experience or more.
Passionate About Being On Site - You're someone who enjoys working closely with operational teams, building relationships in the field and influencing environmental performance where it matters most.
Technically Knowledgeable - Confident interpreting environmental requirements, management plans and regulatory obligations, with the ability to apply them in a practical project environment.
Collaborative & Influential Communicator - Able to engage stakeholders at all levels, from site teams and contractors through to project leadership and client representatives.
Focused On Long-Term Development - Keen to join a business where there are genuine opportunities to progress, take ownership of future projects and grow alongside an expanding environmental team.
