Are you enthusiastic about carving your path in the world of environment, ready to contribute to meaningful change, and eager to join a team where your personal values align with a commitment to building a sustainable future? Look no further, as Ramboll is seeking a talented Senior Environmental Consultant to become an integral part of our pioneering journey.

If you are curious to learn more, then this role could be the perfect opportunity. Join our Compliance, Strategy & Transactions (CST) Team as our new Environmental Consultant and work with us to close the gap to a sustainable future.

Your new role
As our new Senior Environmental Consultant, you will chart your own course with the support of a dynamic team, lead projects with confidence, and embrace continuous learning to excel in your technical field. This role is about innovation, effective project management, and fostering strong client relationships with clients who aim for excellence in environment and sustainability.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

1. Function as a Project Manager overseeing the successful setup and execution of permitting, environmental compliance, and management systems projects within Ramboll's framework.
2. Conduct comprehensive environmental audits, support on large-scale multinational audit programs, and keep up to date with UK regulatory requirements.
3. Utilise expertise in environmental permitting and BAT to evaluate risks, devise effective mitigation strategies, and facilitate knowledge exchange within our European network.
4. Drive industrial growth and energy transition projects, utilising your environmental risk mitigation skills to manage sustainability challenges, including those related to energy transition and resource efficiency.
5. Develop and deliver bespoke and innovative work packages to assist clients in achieving compliance with the ISO 14001 management system standard.
6. Lead the creation of detailed reports and proposals, maintain consistent client communication, and cultivate strong partnerships for project success.

Your new team
You will be part of our Compliance, Strategy & Transactions (CST) Team within our Environment & Health (E&H) Market.

As our new Senior Environmental Consultant, you will be part of a fast-growing team providing environmental compliance and permitting support to national and multinational clients. No two projects are ever the same: whether it’s designing and delivering a compliance programme for a data centre, setting out environmental design criteria for a low-carbon plastics recycling plant, or ensuring a food manufacturing site is decommissioned and demolished to the satisfaction of the regulator, we help clients achieve their expansion and change plans while maintaining high environmental standards. As part of Ramboll, we contribute to multidisciplinary projects both domestically and internationally, with increasing opportunities to support the transition towards Net-Zero across energy-intensive industries.

About you
From the moment you start at Ramboll, we will support your personal and professional development so that you can continue to grow with the company. While we look forward to supporting your ongoing learning, for this role, the following qualifications, skills, and capabilities are essential:

• Understanding of the UK environmental regulatory regime and experience in auditing and compliance assessment processes.
• Proficient in identifying environmental risks and liabilities.
• Demonstrable experience in environmental consultancy or similar roles with knowledge of environmental regulations.

What we can offer you

• Recognition for your unique personality and skills.
• Investment in your development.
• Leadership guided by our Principles.
• The stability of a foundation-owned company with long-term outlooks.
• Flexible working environment.
• 27 days of annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Matched pension contributions.
• Private medical cover and life assurance.

Ramboll is a global architecture, engineering, and consultancy firm committed to creating a thriving world for both nature and people. Our strength lies in our people, and we foster an inclusive culture that values diversity and innovation.
