For someone with ambition, vision and an entrepreneurial mindset, this isn't simply the next leadership position, it's an opportunity to build a lasting legacy within one of the industry's most respected consulting businesses.

As Environmental Practice Leader, you will:

• Provide technical leadership across complex contaminated sites, remediation and brownfield redevelopment projects.
• Lead, mentor and develop an established environmental team.
