  • Keep informed of changes to relevant legislation, guidance and best practice.

About you

You will have experience in environmental planning, permitting, consenting or a closely related discipline, ideally gained within the infrastructure, energy, construction, development or consultancy sectors. A degree in environmental planning, environmental science, geography, planning or a related subject is desirable.

Strong knowledge of UK planning and environmental regulations is essential, together with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
