We are currently seeking an ambitious and dynamic consultant to join our award-winning environmental due diligence team in our London office.

In your role as part of our team you will be responsible for delivering environmental liability advice to our real estate clients, to assist them in understanding the potential risks and opportunities at the point of transaction (e.g. acquisition, divestment and refinancing).

As the largest consultancy provider of environmental due diligence in the UK, our team work across a wide variety of projects; from single high-profile buildings in major cities, to very large UK-wide portfolios of assets – and we are seeking consultants with demonstrable experience to join us.

As a member of our specialist due diligence team you will be working in close collaboration with experts from across our business, developing your existing general understanding of the potential risks presented by contaminated land, flood risk, asbestos and energy efficiency legislation etc.

You will be encouraged and supported to actively contribute to team development and initiatives, and you will be assigned a senior mentor who will guide you in your career and professional development.

A little more about your role…

Delivery of desk studies and Phase I Assessments, including UK wide site visits. Site visits are typically half-day commitment.
The autonomy to manage due diligence projects; from commissioning and client liaison, to project delivery and invoicing.
Working in collaboration with team members and the wider business to provide robust technical advice to clients when considering complex sites with significant potential liabilities.
Opportunities to build your skill-set beyond environmental due diligence, through involvement in business development, project budgeting, business profile management etc – dependent upon your personal interests.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate…

A relevant Bachelor of Science degree or equivalent (Environmental Sciences, Earth Sciences, Geography, Geology etc)
Previous experience of delivering environmental due diligence assessments or contaminated land assessments (such as Phase I Assessments), ideally within a consultancy setting
A commitment to delivering technically robust, diligent reporting
Experience directly presenting report findings to clients in a timely and clear manner (i.e. client facing)
Demonstrable experience delivering projects under tight timescales
Analytical and problem-solving skills
Passion and enthusiasm to self-develop and be a contributing member of a supportive team.

What if you could shape a career as unique as you?

At WSP, you can always find opportunities to grow and do what matters to you. Make the most of our global reach to discover new challenges and chances to work with diverse, talented individuals who will help you expand your horizons.
