This is a major nationally significant infrastructure programme — a long-term, large-scale UK construction project with a build programme spanning many years and a workforce that scales into the thousands. It's the kind of project that becomes a genuine career reference point, and one you'll be talking about for years to come.
We're looking for an experienced Environmental Manager to lead environmental management across construction phases on site — someone comfortable operating at the sharp end of a live, multidisciplinary construction environment, not just writing policy from a desk.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading environmental management and compliance across construction activities, covering legal, contractual, and client requirements.
- Acting as a key environmental advisor to project teams, the client, and regulatory bodies.
- Coordinating environmental surveys, monitoring, and reporting across multiple work fronts.
- Managing environmental incidents from identification through to close-out and corrective action.
- Working alongside multidisciplinary teams — civils, M&E, logistics, and specialist subcontractors — to keep environmental risk under control on a live site.
Requirements:
- Solid track record managing environmental compliance on major construction or infrastructure projects (nationally significant infrastructure, energy, or heavy civils background all relevant).
- Strong working knowledge of UK environmental legislation and construction environmental management systems.
- Ability to operate independently on site while keeping wider project teams aligned.
