Environment & Sustainability Manager

We Care... about the environments we work in and the impact we leave behind, which is why we need people like you who are passionate about helping major infrastructure projects be delivered responsibly and sustainably. At Clancy, we're delivering some of the South's most significant water infrastructure projects while protecting the habitats, watercourses and communities they serve. We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Environment & Sustainability Manager to support the delivery of two major projects: Southern Water's Andover Link Main and Portsmouth Water's Havant Thicket Reservoir pipeline scheme. Why these projects? Andover Link Main A major new pipeline connecting Winchester and Andover, helping secure future water supplies while reducing pressure on Hampshire's internationally important chalk streams. Havant Thicket Reservoir Pipeline Part of the wider Havant Thicket Reservoir programme, this project includes an 8.5km pipeline and pumping station that will help transfer sustainable water supplies across the region, strengthening drought resilience and supporting future demand. Both projects pass through environmentally sensitive areas, making environmental leadership a critical part of successful delivery. The Role... Working closely with our Head of Environment, you'll lead the day-to-day environmental delivery across both projects, helping ensure environmental risks are effectively managed and project commitments are met throughout construction. You'll work alongside Project Managers, site teams, Environmental Advisors, Ecological Clerks of Works, specialist consultants and client representatives to coordinate environmental activities, manage permits and consents, support compliance and drive a positive environmental culture across the projects. This is an opportunity to influence two flagship schemes from the outset and see the direct impact of your work on projects that will leave a lasting legacy. Here's some of the activities you'll be involved in...

• Leading day-to-day environmental delivery across both projects.
• Managing environmental permits, licences, consents and approvals.
• Producing and maintaining environmental documentation, including Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs).
