Are you an ECoW or EnvCoW qualified environmental advisor looking for a role with an expanding successful specialist business offering career progression, the opportunity for shares in the business long terms and whatever training you require to become a technical expert?
Are you looking for a highly flexible, diverse and autonomous position working closely with senior leadership in a company secured on lots of long term, lucrative frameworks in large scale infrastructure and power generation?
The business are an established environmental consultancy delivering expert advice across major infrastructure schemes, wind farms, highways, and hydro projects.
They are a trusted advisor to leading owners, operators and tier one / principal contractors. With a strong pipeline secured through long-term frameworks, their order book is growing – and so is their team.
They're now seeking an environmental advisor to deliver vital site-based compliance work, including protected species checks, construction environmental management plans (CEMPs) and some ecological scopes of work.
You will work completely remotely except when at site with lots of flexibility and a great work life balance – the majority of the team don’t do 8 hours a day and switch off their laptops once they have completed the day’s tasks.
If you’re an ECoW or EnvCoW qualified environmentalist looking for a great work life balance, with the potential for shares in a business with lots of training, progression and development, then apply now, we’d love to hear from you!
