About the Role

Our client, a leading environmental and engineering consultancy, is expanding its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) team and is seeking a motivated Senior EIA Consultant to support the delivery of high-profile projects across the UK.

  • Support early-stage feasibility and master planning projects with environmental advice.
  • Liaise with local authorities, consultees, and stakeholders throughout the planning process.
  • Assist with desk-based research, data collection, and site visits.

 

Desired Candidate Profile

 

  • Degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Planning or a related discipline.
  • Proven experience managing and delivering EIAs on complex UK projects.
  • Membership of a relevant professional body (e.g. IEMA).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with attention to detail.
