• Secure project-specific environmental regulatory permissions.
• Review environmentally high-risk method statements to ensure risk mitigation.
• Offer specialist support during the construction phase, monitoring site environmental performance.
• Investigate environmental incidents and liaise with regulators where necessary.
• Support maintenance and compliance with ISO 14001 and internal environmental management systems.
• Deliver environmental training sessions and lead CPD activities (e.g., webinars, forums, site engagement).
• Monitor and report on performance in areas such as water, dust, noise, and vibration.
• Promote environmental best practices throughout operational teams and the wider supply chain.
• Be a visible presence across project sites, acting as a key point of contact for environmental support.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience within the construction industry or a related field.
• Strong understanding of environmental management systems and regulatory requirements.
• Proven ability to assess environmental risks and implement effective mitigation strategies.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence stakeholders and supply chain partners.
• A proactive approach to site support and environmental monitoring.
• Degree qualified in Environmental Science or a related discipline (ideal but not essential).

What’s on Offer:

• Salary of £34,000 – £45,000 depending on experience.
• Attractive package including travel and subsistence.
• The opportunity to influence sustainability and environmental outcomes across a diverse portfolio of major projects.
• Career development with a forward-thinking and highly respected main contractor (confidential at this stage).
