Job description

Launch your career and find your professional home at Ramboll. Be part of a supportive and engaging environment, where you can challenge and explore your professional interests, passions and curiosity in ways that make the most of all the opportunities ahead of you.

We value the things that make you unique. Ramboll's Nordic heritage and founding aim, of improving conditions for people and nature, continue to guide our decision-making. As a foundation-owned multinational company, with 97.5% shares owned by the Ramboll Foundation, profits are reinvested into the company for the continued development of employees or used to fund research, charitable and humanitarian projects.

Our commitment to be 'The Partner for Sustainable Change' and to act responsibly in everything that we do, means that you'll be working on projects that make a positive difference to individuals, communities and the environment.

Our Early Careers Programme - EarlyCareers@Ramboll

We have designed a training programme that will boost your personal, commercial and technical development to kick-start your career with Ramboll. You will also be paired with a mentor and have access to a clear framework to work towards your professional development.

The Early Careers Design Challenge is one of the highlights of the graduate training. This is a fun and exciting event where you get to work on a project for one of our clients that will provide you with an insight into the concept of design. You also get the opportunity to collaborate and network with amazing people and peers.

About this opportunity

The role will provide the opportunity to become fluent in a wide range of environmental regulatory requirements as they apply to our clients. You will develop the skills and knowledge to assess our clients' operations and activities in the context of regulatory compliance while also advising them on how improve their performance or achieve compliance. You will undertake desk-top analysis and confirmatory site visits to support our environmental compliance assurance team and our environmental permitting team.

The role will support detailed technical applications for environmental permits, typically for industrial or commercial (e.g., data centre) properties, but with the anticipated increase in opportunities in the green transition space (hydrogen, EV, batteries, carbon capture). Further to this, the role typically provides a mix of desk-based and client site-based activities and will give you the opportunity to see many facilities first hand and to gain an excellent understanding of industrial and commercial facility operations from an environmental compliance and permitting perspective.

Alongside permitting support, the role will involve assessing the environmental impacts of our clients' products and services across their value chain. This work supports regulatory compliance but also sustainability initiatives by identifying and recommending how to reduce environmental impact hotspots.

Additional opportunities are also likely in supporting the development of client's environmental and sustainability management systems, and circular economy and resource management initiatives.

Whilst the focus of this role is Environmental Permitting, Management Systems and Compliance, graduates in this role would also be expected to spend some time working within the Graduate ESG/EHS Due Diligence & Strategy Consultant role during their first two years of working at Ramboll in order to gain a breadth of skills and experience.

We have opportunities available in our teams based in London, Manchester, Leeds. Please ensure you specify your location preferences on your application.
