We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Environmental Advisor to join our team and play a key role in supporting the delivery of environmental and sustainability objectives across our operations.

The role offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact, influencing environmental performance, driving continuous improvement and supporting the delivery of both legal and voluntary sustainability commitments.

Here are some of the activities you will be involved with...

Providing expert environmental advice and support across all phases of planned and reactive works
Establishing baseline environmental conditions and ensuring compliance with environmental legislation and regulatory requirements
Undertaking environmental inspections and audits
Monitoring, analysing and reporting on environmental performance

We would love to hear from you if...

You have a strong background within the environmental sector, together with a detailed understanding of environmental legislation, compliance requirements and industry best practice. You will be comfortable providing advice and guidance across a range of operational environments and able to build effective relationships with colleagues, clients and regulatory bodies.

You will have experience of environmental permitting and consents processes within construction, infrastructure or utility projects, including the preparation, coordination and management of applications. Experience working alongside specialist disciplines such as ecology, archaeology, arboriculture and water environments would also be highly beneficial.

Additionally, you will have a sound understanding of waste management, environmental compliance and environmental management systems. You will also have experience gathering, analysing and reporting environmental data, including supporting assessments and reporting requirements such as ESOS, SECR, ISO14064 and ISO14001.

Strong communication skills are essential, as you will be required to influence, educate and support colleagues at all levels of the business, helping to foster a positive environmental culture and drive continual improvement.

A degree in Environmental Science or a related discipline (or equivalent experience) is essential, alongside a relevant professional membership or qualification such as IEMA, CIWEM, IES or CIWM. A full UK driving licence is also required, as travel to sites will form part of the role.
