About the Role

Are you an experienced Senior or Principal EIA Coordinator seeking a dynamic and rewarding role? Look no further.

This position a unique chance to join a well-established nationwide team of masterplanners, planners, environmental consultants and landscape architects, contributing from the design stages to some of the UK’s most significant and exciting developments.

Your expertise will be instrumental in providing critical insights into the environmental and social impacts of nationally significant energy and infrastructure projects, new settlements, urban regeneration, and internationally recognised public spaces.

In this role, you will lead EIA projects and author reports at all stages of the EIA process, from screening to the preparation of Environmental Statements. Additionally, you will have the chance to provide environmental leadership on non-EIA projects, assisting masterplanners and planners.

To excel in this role, you should bring:

  • A comprehensive understanding of EIA requirements and impressive track record of leading EIA projects;
  • Strong grasp of the planning system;
  • Experience in managing sub-consultants and familiarity with GIS, graphics software, and AutoCAD.

Your contribution will help to shape the direction and growth of the service line, so we’re looking for a team player with excellent communication, project management, and organisational skills, capable of developing strong relationships with colleagues, co-consultants, and clients.

You will find a friendly and supportive team shaped by our values, where your ability to thrive is genuinely prioritised.

If you have experience leading and coordinating EIA projects, a successful track record in consultancy, and the ability to work effectively with clients and multidisciplinary teams, this role could be the perfect fit for you.

Apply now to make a difference in shaping the future of environmental planning.
