Job description

Join a leading principal contractor where your environmental expertise will influence major construction projects across the North and Midlands.

Environmental Manager | £60,000-£65,000 + Car + Bonus | Wakefield or Warrington

This is an opportunity to move beyond simply monitoring compliance! You'll work across a growing portfolio of construction projects, helping site teams manage environmental risk, improve performance and embed better ways of working from pre-construction through to delivery. It's a visible, hands-on role. You'll be conducting site audits, advising on materials, waste and permits, supporting ISO 14001 and working directly with project teams to turn environmental requirements into practical action. The business already has a strong reputation and an impressive project pipeline. Now, it's continuing to invest in its environmental capability, and you'll play an important part in that journey. You'll have autonomy, variety and exposure across the business, but you'll also need the confidence to challenge, influence and bring site teams with you.

What will you need?

• Environmental experience within construction or infrastructure
• Strong knowledge of UK environmental legislation
• Experience with site compliance, audits, waste, permits and materials management
• A practical, proactive approach
• The confidence to engage and influence project teams

• £60,000-£65,000 salary DOE
• Discretionary bonus
• Hybrid or electric car/car allowance
• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays and Christmas shutdown
• Private medical insurance and Medicash
• 5% pension, life assurance and enhanced family-friendly benefits
