Purpose & Scope of the Role

As an Environmental Consultant, you will play a key role in delivering high‑quality environmental assessments, including air quality impact assessments, dust and odour evaluations, and environmental constraints and feasibility studies that inform planning and design decisions. You will support data collection, interpretation and analysis, applying recognised methodologies and using GIS tools such as QGIS and ArcMap to prepare mapping, spatial analysis and technical outputs. You will contribute to the preparation of Construction Environmental Management Plans, ensuring that construction‑phase environmental risks and mitigation measures are clearly defined and proportionate.

Your work will directly influence the environmental quality and regulatory compliance of development and infrastructure projects across the region. By supporting complex environmental assessments, feasibility studies and the preparation of environmental documentation, you will help clients understand project risks, opportunities and constraints. Your inputs to air quality, dust, odour and feasibility assessments will ensure that environmental risks are identified early and addressed in a proportionate and evidence‑based manner.

As you progress, you will deepen your technical expertise across the sectors we serve, including water and wastewater, renewables, residential and commercial development. You will contribute to the continued development of the environmental discipline, supporting improvements to methods, reporting standards and internal processes. Your impact will be reflected in the clarity of your reporting, the quality of your data analysis and the value you add to multidisciplinary project teams.
