I’m recruiting an Environmental Advisor for a contractor delivering a long‑term infrastructure framework across Scotland. You’ll support live civils and utilities projects, from mains replacement and network upgrades to capital projects.

• 28 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy more
• Private medical cover, with the option to add family
• Support for CPD and career development

What you’ll do

• Visit projects to identify environmental risks, advise site teams and help put workable controls in place.
• Carry out inspections and audits, support ISO 14001 compliance, and guide teams on waste management and environmental performance.
• Investigate incidents, agree corrective actions, deliver environmental briefings and work with the client, regulators and supply chain partners.

What you’ll bring

• Environmental experience in construction, civils, utilities, water, power or infrastructure.
• An environmental qualification or related degree.
