About You

  • Degree qualified in project management or an environmental discipline
  • Consultancy experience within environmental or related sectors
  • Experience in a project management or supervisory capacity
  • Strong organisational and communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and make well-informed decisions
  • Experience supporting or mentoring junior staff
  • Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel as required

Professional membership is advantageous but not essential.

  • 25 days annual leave, increasing with service, plus public holidays
  • Hybrid working arrangement
  • Paid sick leave
  • Private health insurance
