Drive: Motivated to contribute to the successful delivery of projects and programmes.

Self-Awareness: Recognise your own development needs and are committed to learning and refining your technical and commercial skills.

What You’ll Gain

Sector Exposure: The opportunity to broaden your knowledge across sectors such as real estate, infrastructure, advisory, defence, and energy and natural resources while developing the skills to provide commercial, strategic, and analytical advice to clients.

Client and Team Engagement:The opportunity to work with your colleagues in a team environment, and with our clients, to drive positive social and environmental change, encourage innovation and create a sustainable energy future.

• Academic Credentials: A Degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Management, Geography, Geology, Earth Sciences, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline (achieved or on track for a 2:1 minimum).
