Job description

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be our go-to person on the ground for all things environmental – supporting the site teams to stay compliant, reduce risk, and make smarter environmental decisions.



This is a hands-on role where you’ll:

Help us meet our legal obligations and site permits

Monitor and report on key areas like air quality, emissions, water and waste

Carry out site audits and follow up on actions

Work closely with the Environment Agency and internal departments

Contribute to risk assessments and support incident investigations

Get involved in projects that drive long-term environmental improvements



You’ll be part of a small, site-based team – but you’ll work with everyone, from engineers and operators to managers and contractors.



What You’ll Need

We’re looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves and get involved – someone who’s confident in what they know but open to learning more.



Here’s what will help you succeed:

A degree in a STEM subject

Good knowledge of environmental regulations in the UK

A practical, well-organised approach to your work

Confidence to work independently and speak up when it matters

Strong communication skills and the ability to get on with people at all levels



It would be great if you’ve got experience with ISO 14001, Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR), or if you’ve worked with the Environment Agency before – but we’re happy to support the right person to build this knowledge.


Sustainability is at the very heart of what we do and we are dedicated to managing our operations responsibly and to continuously improving our performance. Innovating for tomorrow, making a positive impact today.
