• Being the Voice of the Environment On Site – Getting stuck into ground investigations, archaeological works and ecological considerations across a diverse landscape.
• Empowering Project Teams – Giving practical, real‑world advice that helps engineers, designers and temporary works teams build responsibly and confidently.

Who They’re Looking For:

• A Naturally Curious Environmental Specialist – Genuinely passionate about the environmental side of construction.
• Someone Who Gets Construction – Comfortable navigating the realities, pressures and moving parts of major civils, utilities or infrastructure sites.
• A Clear, Confident Communicator – Able to build trust with landowners, internal teams and stakeholders at all levels.
