Climate17 is working with a national construction company as they look to recruit an Environmental Advisor to support the NW regional operations, with a mixture of office, site, and home-based working. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a couple of years’ experience to really learn and develop from your peers in the role. You will be joining a long standing, family-owned business who are open to innovation and ideas, so this role really suits someone who’s ambitious, has good ideas (not limited to EMS, but including ecology, BNG, etc) and is a natural influencer.
The Role
As an Environmental Advisor, you will provide environmental guidance and support across infrastructure projects, while assisting in the development and implementation of sustainability initiatives and environmental management systems in line with ISO 14001:2015 requirements.
Key Responsibilities
My client is a well-established infrastructure organisation delivering projects across both the public and private sector and they pride themselves on delivering projects safely, reliably, and to a high standard, supported by a collaborative and committed team culture.
They are value oriented and these centre around respect, teamwork, integrity, inclusion, and continuous improvement.
Diversity & Inclusion
We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and supported. Applications are welcomed from all backgrounds, and all candidates will be considered fairly regardless of personal circumstances or identity.
