Job Description

We invite you to bring your knowledge and experience of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), team management and business development in the delivery of a wide range of urban regeneration and masterplanning projects. Ramboll has an exciting role available to lead and support our existing and growing portfolio of projects in London and across the UK. You will bring demonstrable experience of statutory EIA and non-statutory environmental assessment and planning processes, of providing environmental inputs to complex projects, and of taking a leading role in developing and growing the team. Are you the EIA Associate we are looking for?

If this sounds like you, or you’re curious to learn more, then this role could be the perfect opportunity. Join our UK Impact Assessment department as our new EIA Associate and work with us to close the gap to a sustainable future.

Your new role

We are seeking an Associate to join the leadership team with clear strengths in business development. You will take day-to-day responsibility for the management of the team.

As our new EIA Associate, you will manage and deliver environmental inputs primarily to urban regeneration and master planning projects, providing strategic and project specific environmental advice across all stages of the project lifecycle; from site selection and early consenting strategy development, through feasibility, optioneering and outline design, to detailed design, discharging of consents and construction.

We’re looking for individuals who are passionate about delivering effective environmental and sustainability inputs and positively influencing the performance of property and urban regeneration projects. You will be able to set the strategic direction of projects, as well as effectively manage resources and budgets.

Your key responsibilities will be:

• Assisting with leading and expanding the London EIA team, including business planning, recruitment and training
• Leading, collaborating and supporting on the identification of EIA and environmental business opportunities, delivering associated proposals, developing and maintaining trusted advisor relationships

Your new team

You will be part of our UK Impact Assessment department, which forms part of our Global Impact Assessment Spearhead, established to drive growth and specialisation in Impact Assessment. The Spearhead builds on our existing successes through a continued focus on national impact assessment work, alongside targeting large, strategic projects within our existing global geographic strongholds and beyond. Our London Impact Assessment team is currently working on some of the largest masterplan schemes in the UK.

You will have the opportunity to work collaboratively across our multi-disciplinary business, with our inhouse technical specialist groups (Air Quality, Noise & Vibration, Ecology, Landscape & Urban Design, Water Resources and Flood Risk, Ground Contamination, Waste, Climate & Human Health), our growing Cities & Regeneration and Strategic Sustainability teams and our well-established Building engineering team. Although the role would primarily be focused on property projects, there would also be the opportunity to work on transport, infrastructure and renewable energy schemes.
