Job description

Environmental Manager - Major UK New Build Infrastructure Programme £700/day (All Inclusive) | Outside IR35 | 6-Month Initial Contract, Strong Likelihood of Extension

This is a major nationally significant infrastructure programme - a long-term, large-scale UK construction project with a build programme spanning many years and a workforce that scales into the thousands. It's the kind of project that becomes a genuine career reference point, and one you'll be talking about for years to come. We're looking for an experienced Environmental Manager to lead environmental management across construction phases on site - someone comfortable operating at the sharp end of a live, multidisciplinary construction environment, not just writing policy from a desk.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading environmental management and compliance across construction activities, covering legal, contractual, and client requirements
• Acting as a key environmental advisor to project teams, the client, and regulatory bodies
• Coordinating environmental surveys, monitoring, and reporting across multiple work fronts
• Managing environmental incidents from identification through to close-out and corrective action
• Driving continuous improvement plans and embedding sustainable practices into day-to-day construction delivery
• Working alongside multidisciplinary teams - civils, M&E, logistics, and specialist subcontractors - to keep environmental risk under control on a live site

What we’re looking for:

• Solid track record managing environmental compliance on major construction or infrastructure projects (nationally significant infrastructure, energy, or heavy civils background all relevant)
• Confidence engaging directly with regulators and client stakeholders
• Strong working knowledge of UK environmental legislation and construction environmental management systems
• Someone who can operate independently on site while keeping wider project teams aligned
• Full UK Working Rights

The deal:

• Up to £700 per day, all-inclusive rate
• Outside IR35
• Site-based role 6-month initial contract with a realistic prospect of extension given the scale and duration of the programme
