• Lead environmental permitting activities, including permit applications, variations, maintenance, and compliance management
• Develop strong working relationships with regulatory bodies including the Environment Agency and SEPA
• Interpret environmental legislation and permit conditions, translating them into practical operational controls
• Lead inspections, audits, regulatory engagement, and compliance activities across multiple sites

Sustainability, ESG & Circular Economy

• Support sustainability initiatives including:
• Carbon management and Net Zero activities
• Environmental impact reduction programmes
• Contribute to ESG reporting, performance monitoring, and sustainability strategy development
• Identify opportunities to embed environmental thinking into customer projects and innovation programmes
• Support the development of circular economy initiatives and social value activities

Multi-Site Governance & Assurance

• Provide environmental oversight across multiple technical and manufacturing sites
• Develop KPIs, dashboards, reporting frameworks, and environmental performance metrics
• Conduct audits and assurance activities to identify risks and improvement opportunities
• Support site leaders with environmental incident management and corrective actions

Business & Customer Support

• Support commercial, technical, and bid teams in assessing environmental requirements within new opportunities
• Ensure new projects and technologies are developed in compliance with environmental obligations
• Help identify practical solutions to complex environmental challenges within innovative and evolving technologies

About You

You are an experienced environmental professional who combines strong technical and regulatory knowledge with commercial awareness and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience in an environmental leadership or management role
• Strong knowledge of environmental permitting and UK environmental legislation
• Experience operating within regulated industrial, technical, manufacturing, energy, chemical, pharmaceutical, or engineering environments
• Demonstrable experience implementing and managing Environmental Management Systems aligned to ISO 14001
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
• Experience working with regulators, inspections, audits, and compliance activities
• The ability to balance environmental compliance with business growth and innovation objectives
• Chartered Environmentalist status or professional membership of IEMA, ISEP, IES, or equivalent
• ESG and sustainability reporting experience
• Circular economy, waste reduction, or resource efficiency programmes
• Experience within science, manufacturing, R&D, advanced technology, GMP, chemical processing, or technically complex environments
