  3. Knowledge of environmental contamination, hydrogeological, hydrology, and flood risk considerations
  4. Awareness and understanding of current Environmental legislation
  5. Experience in managing the Environmental Consents process on a major development scheme and/or major infrastructure project
  6. Experience of working with multi-disciplinary teams on complex projects
  7. Proven record of working effectively on the environmental aspects of major projects, including securing Consents in a timely manner and ensuring compliance.

Qualifications:
  1. Relevant BSC Degree level qualification

Additional Information:
  1. Prior experience of delivering a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project through the Planning Act 2008 legislation or similar including large EIA projects
