Key Info from the Hiring Manager:
Ideally the Associate would have ca. 7-10 years' experience, with good experience in renewables energy/EIA. Scottish experience would also be good, but the projects are right across GB so a willingness to work in both the Scottish and English planning systems + S36/S37 consents/NSIPs would be important
