Job Description

Start here. Grow here.

Are you passionate about improving the environmental performance of infrastructure development projects and helping Ireland to deliver its net zero commitments? If so, we’d love to hear from you at AECOM.

By joining us you will work daily with technical experts within our established Impact Assessment team which comprises over 170 staff across Ireland and the UK. We are a founding member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) EIA Quality Mark, whilst everything we do aligns with our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy. As a national team, we are flexible in terms of office location – this includes offices in Dublin and Cork, as well as taking advantage of our flexible hybrid working model.

At AECOM, we’re at the forefront of innovation, delivering an exceptional portfolio of projects through long‑term partnerships with key clients. This position offers an opportunity to be involved in large‑scale development projects that are transforming our infrastructure – this includes:

• Energy generation projects, including renewables (solar farm and onshore windfarm projects), carbon capture and storage, and hydrogen;
• Energy distribution and transmission projects;
• Highway improvements and greenway projects;
• Carbon capture pipelines;
• Strategic national and regional rail projects;
• Regeneration projects, including port side developments;
• Developments within the e‑commerce, minerals and waste, water, defence, aviation, commercial/ residential and industrial sectors.

Here’s what you’ll do:

• Provide Expertise: As a Senior Environmental Consultant you’ll coordinate environmental inputs to EIA Screening and Scoping reports, Environmental Impact Assessment Reports, Environmental Considerations Reports and supporting documents, including the technical review of specialist chapters. You’ll be involved across all project life stages, from early strategy development and site identification studies, through feasibility, optioneering / option selection, outline design, to detailed design, discharging of conditions, construction, and scheme operation / maintenance. You’ll have the opportunity to work across a portfolio of development projects covering multiple consenting regimes (Local Authority, Strategic Infrastructure Development (SID) etc.).
• Ensure Quality: Your role requires a critical eye for detail to ensure that our deliverables are produced to the highest quality standards.
• Project Management: Your role will enable you to develop your project management skills by coordinating resources and budgets (with support as applicable).
• Collaborate: You will work as part of integrated design teams to improve the environmental outcomes of our projects – you will identify environmental constraints, identify impact avoidance and mitigation solutions, as well as opportunities to deliver benefits.
• Client Contact: Your role will require direct contact with our clients and our internal supply teams.
• Growth: You will promote AECOM’s environmental services to both internal and external audiences. You will support business development opportunities and associated fee and technical proposal development.

We offer a range of core and personalised benefits designed to support your future and wellbeing, customised to fit your lifestyle. Take advantage of career development opportunities, our flexible hybrid working model, technical practice networks, AECOM University, and volunteering days.
