Summary

Use your environmental expertise to make a visible difference.

We're looking for an experienced environmental professional to help shape projects that protect communities, improve watercourses, support nature recovery and restore former mining areas across Great Britain.

As an Environmental Advisor, you'll work alongside project managers, engineers and technical specialists to identify environmental risks and opportunities, guide planning and consenting strategies, and provide trusted advice throughout the project lifecycle.

This is an opportunity to see your recommendations put into practice. Rather than simply producing reports, you'll remain closely involved as projects progress, influencing decisions from concept to delivery and seeing the real-world impact of your work.

We're interested in candidates with experience in environmental assessment, planning, permitting, consenting or environmental management. You may come from consultancy, regulation, local government, utilities, infrastructure, water or remediation.

What matters most is your ability to apply environmental expertise, influence decision-making and deliver positive environmental outcomes.

Why join us?

- Meaningful projects that improve the environment and protect communities

- A varied portfolio across England, Scotland and Wales

- Hybrid working with an average of two days per week in our Mansfield office

- A supportive team where your expertise will be valued
