Joining us means becoming part of a collaborative, purpose driven community where this collective expertise enables us to deliver high quality, fully integrated solutions and contribute to meaningful environmental outcomes across the UK and Ireland.

About Neo

Neo Environmental is a multidisciplinary consultancy that provides market leading, cost-effective planning, environmental and technical solutions to clients working in the energy, residential, retail, utilities, mixed-use, aggregates and infrastructure sectors across the UK and Ireland.

We work closely with our clients throughout the duration of projects to ensure that we have a thorough understanding of their requirements and to achieve optimum designs.

Our team consists of experienced and accredited planners, engineers and multi-disciplinary environmental consultants, ensuring we provide a full suite of in-house collaborative services for projects.

You will act as a central point of coordination for staff onboarding and training, compliance and reporting requirements, office and vehicle management, procurement, and the provision of equipment and resources.

The role also involves maintaining accurate records, supporting business compliance and continuous improvement initiatives, liaising with customers and suppliers where required, and providing general administrative support to teams across the business. Flexibility and a proactive approach are essential, as you'll be involved in a wide range of activities that help keep the organisation running smoothly and effectively.
