- Contribute to business development, including bids, fee proposals, client presentations and technical reports.
- Mentor and support junior colleagues, promoting high professional standards and knowledge sharing.
About you
You will have a relevant degree or equivalent qualification in environmental planning, environmental management, geography, planning or a related discipline. Membership of a relevant professional body, or a willingness to work towards membership, would be advantageous.
Applicants should have substantial experience in environmental planning, assessment or consenting, ideally gained within consultancy, development, infrastructure or a public-sector environment. You will be confident interpreting legislation and policy, managing competing priorities and delivering accurate work to agreed deadlines.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, together with strong organisation, problem-solving ability and a collaborative approach. A commitment to sustainable development, professional integrity and continuous improvement is expected.
