This is a hands‑on, site‑focused role suited to someone who enjoys being out in the field, working across diverse locations, and playing a key role in ensuring environmental compliance on complex projects.

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

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.

We welcome applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of their ethnicity, race, gender, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, age, or whether or not they have a disability. (EEO statement)
