• Ensure environmental requirements and mitigation measures are embedded within construction methodologies, designs and programmes.
• Coordinate environmental activity across areas including ecology, landscape, heritage, water, flood risk, waste, carbon, contaminated land, noise and vibration, air quality and soils.

• A background with a main contractor, civil engineering consultancy or specialist environmental contractor.
• Strong knowledge of construction environmental management, compliance and assurance.
• Experience managing environmental design, mitigation measures, consents and site controls.
• The confidence to challenge construction methodologies and designs where environmental requirements have not been sufficiently addressed.
