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.

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.
