Are you an Environment Manager, Environmental Consultant or experienced environmental specialist looking to broaden your experience within a client-side position on a major UK infrastructure programme?

This is an excellent opportunity to support the environmental assurance, technical handover and completion of major tunnels, bridges, viaducts and large-scale landscape restoration works.

Working alongside the Senior Environment Manager, you will review contractor submissions, undertake assurance visits and ensure environmental commitments and agreed mitigation measures have been delivered to the required standard.

The position will have a particular focus on landscape establishment, ecological mitigation and the environmental sign-off of major infrastructure assets. However, this is a broad environmental role, and candidates from specialist backgrounds including ecology, air quality, noise, water, carbon or environmental planning will be considered.

This is a permanent opportunity offering long-term progression across a nationally significant infrastructure programme, with excellent scope to broaden your technical knowledge and develop towards a Senior Environment Manager position.

• Supporting environmental stage gates and the technical handover of major assets
• Monitoring landscape establishment, habitat creation and ecological mitigation
• Undertaking environmental assurance visits approximately once per week
• Challenging the contractor where commitments or mitigation measures have not been met
• Supporting the management and close-out of environmental early warnings
• Identifying environmental risks and supporting practical, proportionate solutions
• Liaising with contractors, engineers, technical specialists and external stakeholders
• Hybrid working, typically three days across the office and site with two days from home

The Person:

• Environmental experience within construction, infrastructure, consultancy or a regulatory organisation
• Good understanding of UK environmental legislation and environmental management
• Experience reviewing environmental documentation, compliance or contractor performance
• Confident challenging contractors and dealing with potentially difficult stakeholders
• Able to communicate technical information clearly and concisely
• Broad environmental knowledge or substantial experience within a relevant specialism
• Landscape, ecology, habitat creation or environmental restoration experience would be beneficial
