SLR is a global leader in sustainability solutions, working with clients to help make sustainability happen, within a collaborative, people-first culture. With over 5,000 colleagues globally and more than 1,800 across the UK and Europe, we combine local expertise with international reach to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions for our clients.

As part of our continued growth, we have an exciting opportunity for an Associate Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) Consultant to join our thriving Environment Management, Permitting and Compliance (EMPC) team.
