Job description

Jumpstart Your Career as a Graduate Air Quality Consultant

Location: Manchester – 2 office days per week
Start Date: September 2025

Are you ready to shape the future of our environment? At Bureau Veritas, we're on the lookout for passionate and ambitious recent graduates to join our dynamic Air Quality Consultancy team. This is your chance to launch a fulfilling and impactful career while working on high-profile projects that truly make a difference.

About the Role

As a Graduate Consultant, you’ll be immersed in diverse and exciting projects that combine desk-based work and hands-on field activities. One day, you might assist in developing an innovative web-based air quality dashboard for a local authority, and the next, you could be carrying out an odour survey on a poultry farm or calculating emissions from diesel backup generators.

You'll also collaborate with senior colleagues, attend client meetings, and help develop new technical guidance and tools. Variety is at the heart of this role, ensuring every day is both rewarding and intellectually stimulating.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:

• Assisting with air quality modelling, monitoring, and assessments.
• Conducting research and delivering sustainability reports.
• Supporting client interactions and building professional relationships.
• Deploying monitoring equipment on-site and analysing data back in the office.
• Staying updated on the latest sustainability trends.
• Providing administrative support and fostering a safety-conscious and environmentally friendly culture.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking inquisitive, self-motivated problem solvers who bring enthusiasm to both physical and analytical tasks. We’re looking for:

Graduates with a degree in an environmental or science-related field. A Masters or PhD is a bonus but not essential.

Technical Skills: Competence in Microsoft Office (especially Excel/VBA) and experience with GIS software.

Quick Learners: Some knowledge of air quality modelling, monitoring, or assessment would be advantageous.

Adaptability: From muddy fields to data analysis, you thrive in diverse settings.

Fresh Perspectives: Innovative thinkers who approach challenges with curiosity and creativity.

A full UK driving license and access to your own vehicle are essential.

Why Choose Us?

At Bureau Veritas, we take your growth seriously. We provide unparalleled opportunities for learning and progression, with access to world-class training and guidance from senior experts in the field. Our impressive client portfolio includes Defra, the Environment Agency, and Transport for London, offering you exposure to industry-leading projects.

What You'll Get:

• A competitive salary and industry-leading benefits package.
• A hybrid working model to support a healthy work-life balance.
• Core and flexible benefits tailored to your needs.
• The chance to thrive in a supportive and inclusive team environment where diversity and innovation are celebrated.
