Technical Director - Environmental & Social Impact Assessment

Following recent significant contract wins in the Built Environment sector, SLR has an opportunity for an experienced professional to join us as a Senior EIA Consultant in our London office.

The role

This is an exciting opportunity for a technically proficient and commercially-minded EIA specialist with experience in Built Environment projects, such as estate regenerations, urban extensions, strategic land developments, mixed-use town centre schemes, and industrial and logistics schemes. Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting in the preparation of fee proposals;
• Authoring screening requests, scoping requests, Environmental Statements, ES Addenda and ES Reviews;
• Acting as the day-to-day contact with clients and technical consultant teams;
• Maintaining strong relationships with existing clients in the Built Environment sector;
• Representing SLR at industry conferences and events.

You will report to and work closely with our London EIA Lead, and will be part of the wider EIA – South team, currently operating out of London, Southampton, Bristol, Nottingham and Worcester.

As part of our national planning and ESIA team, you will have the opportunity to work with and learn from our team of highly experienced professionals, with opportunities to work occasionally within other sectors (e.g. renewables).
