• Environmental & Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs)

• Environmental & Social Management Plans (ESMPs)

• Stakeholder Engagement Plans (SEPs)

• Environmental and social monitoring programmes

• Oversee specialist consultants and contractors

• Support construction teams on E&S compliance and stakeholder engagement

• Ensure alignment with international lender requirements, including IFC Performance Standards, Equator Principles and ECA expectations

• Engage with regulators, communities and project stakeholders to manage environmental and social risks effectively

About You:

We're keen to hear from candidates with:

• Significant experience delivering or reviewing ESIAs for infrastructure, energy, built environment or industrial projects

• Strong environmental management and regulatory compliance expertise

• Experience working to IFC Performance Standards, Equator Principles and international financing requirements

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and project management skills

• Consultancy or owner's engineer background with the ability to manage multiple work-streams simultaneously

• Experience working on international projects, particularly within emerging markets, would be advantageous

• Work on a diverse portfolio of impactful infrastructure projects

• Exposure to international lenders, export credit agencies and government stakeholders
