Do you enjoy supporting Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and ESG reviews—combining desk research and site visits—to produce concise, client-focused due diligence reports?

If this sounds like you, then this role could be a perfect opportunity. Join our CST Due Diligence UK & Ireland team as our new Environmental Consultant for Due Diligence and help close the gap to a sustainable future.
Your new roleAs an Environmental Consultant for Due Diligence (DD), you will be part of our busy UK transactions team supporting fast-paced UK and global M&A transactions.

Our team advises on transactions across a wide range of sectors, typically including industrial, commercial and infrastructure assets and businesses, often for finance sector clients. We work closely with in‑house specialists across several EHS and ESG disciplines to provide targeted due diligence advice.
