• Monitor project budgets, resourcing, and timelines
• Ensure compliance with Lucion’s quality and health & safety procedures
• Contribute to technical development and innovation within the wider division
  
  

About You

• A degree (or higher) in Geology, Environmental Science, Earth Sciences, or a related subject
• Significant consultancy experience, with a strong understanding of UK land contamination and planning regimes
• Demonstrable experience of managing projects, people, and client relationships
• A technical specialism or advanced expertise in a key area (e.g. DQRA, geotech analysis, materials management, waste soils)
• Proven ability to write clear, accurate, and commercially sound technical reports
• Effective communicator and confident collaborator
• Chartered (or working towards chartership) with a relevant body (e.g. CIWEM, IES, GeolSoc)
• Full UK driving licence
