Job description

Geo Environmental Associate Director

We are seeking an Associate Director to join our Environmental Compliance and Ground Engineering Team at various locations across the UK.

RPS projects are everywhere around you. We define, design, and manage projects that create shared value in a complex, urbanising, and resource-scarce world. Our success is driven by our people. We are looking for individuals who share our passion for solving important problems. Join us for work that is challenging and rewarding, with support every step of the way.

What you'll be doing:

This key role involves supporting a team of geoenvironmental specialists in delivering desk studies, intrusive ground investigations, GIR / GDR reports, remedial methodologies, validation reports, Material Management Plans, waste management, waste classification, coal mining risk assessments, mineral assessments, and high-quality development advice.

You will manage all aspects of ground condition and multidisciplinary consenting, due diligence, and construction projects across the UK. This includes engaging with clients (proposals and terms), overseeing technical delivery, coordinating deliverables, liaising with clients, managing finances, and handling projects ranging from small residential developments to large construction schemes.

You will also coordinate major multidisciplinary and ground condition-related bids.

Key responsibilities:

We seek a highly organized, excellent communicator, and commercially savvy individual who can lead projects proactively. A strong technical knowledge of ground condition assessments is essential, and familiarity with related disciplines (ecology, archaeology, flood risk, etc.) is desirable. Experience with reviewing and managing contractual terms, especially under NEC contracts, is highly beneficial.

This role suits someone with significant project delivery experience in a multidisciplinary consultancy who enjoys diverse projects, is eager to learn, and is a natural problem solver.

What’s in it for you?

We offer a competitive salary, opportunities to invest, and benefits including 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, options to purchase additional days, a company pension scheme, disability scheme, share incentive scheme, life assurance, cycle-to-work scheme, health screening, employee assistance program, dental cover, professional memberships, and discounts via BenefitHub.

As an accredited training provider, we support learning at all levels, from entry to master’s degrees in leadership, management, and coaching. We provide personal development plans and transparent career pathways to support your growth.

We promote flexible working, including hybrid office arrangements, to suit your needs. Join us and be part of a workplace that values your contribution.
