The Role
You'll provide on-site environmental oversight across a range of high-profile developments, ensuring works are delivered in line with environmental commitments, legislation, and best practice. Acting as a trusted advisor to contractors and project teams, you'll help identify risks early and keep projects running smoothly and responsibly.

• Degree (or equivalent) in an environmental discipline such as ecology, environmental science, or environmental management
• Demonstrable experience working on large-scale construction or infrastructure projects, ideally within renewables
• Strong knowledge of Scottish and UK environmental legislation, permitting, and consenting processes
• Confidence in delivering site-based monitoring, audits, and practical environmental advice
• Comfortable working across multiple sites, including travel to remote and rural locations

Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to join a highly respected consultancy with a strong project pipeline in the renewables and infrastructure space. You'll gain exposure to nationally significant projects while working within a supportive and technically strong team.
