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.
The details:
- Up to £700 per day, all-inclusive
- Outside IR35
- Site-based role – full location details shared at first-stage screening
- 6-month initial contract with a realistic prospect of extension given the scale and duration of the programme
- Immediate need – early conversations welcome
What you'll be doing:
- 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
- Driving continuous improvement plans and embedding sustainable practices into day-to-day construction delivery
- Working alongside multidisciplinary teams – civils, M&E, logistics, and specialist subcontractors – to keep environmental risk under control on a live site
What we're looking for:
- Solid track record managing environmental compliance on major construction or infrastructure projects (nationally significant infrastructure, energy, or heavy civils background all relevant)
- Confidence engaging directly with regulators and client stakeholders
- Strong working knowledge of UK environmental legislation and construction environmental management systems
- Someone who can operate independently on site while keeping wider project teams aligned
