Job Description

Job Title Senior Environmental Consultant

Location Basingstoke, Hampshire

Work Opportunity Permanent

Introduction

This is a dynamic and hands-on role that requires excellent communication and collaboration skills. You will work closely with colleagues, clients, and statutory regulators to ensure environmental compliance, risk mitigation, and continual improvement.

What will I be doing?

1. Be the go-to expert - offer environmental advice at every project stage, keeping everything compliant and on track.
2. Assess and plan smartly - carry out impact assessments and create strategies that align with our Environmental Management System.
3. Turn data into action - collect, monitor, and analyse environmental performance to drive improvements.
4. Keep standards high - lead inspections and audits to ensure compliance with ISO 14001, legislation, and permits, tackling any issues head-on.
5. Stay proactive on safety - report incidents and near misses, categorize them, and ensure corrective actions are in place.

What do I need to succeed?

If you have experience in an environmental role within civil engineering, utilities, or a related industry, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

We're looking for someone with a solid understanding of environmental legislation, risk management, and sustainability - someone who's proactive, solutions-focused, and ready to make a real impact. You'll play a key role in ensuring compliance, driving best practices, and working closely with colleagues, clients, and regulators.

A degree in Environmental Science (or equivalent experience) is essential, along with knowledge of consents and permitting. As this is a field-based role, a full UK driving licence is required.

What's in it for me?

Beyond helping you achieve your career goals, we offer a competitive salary, pension, healthcare, and a generous holiday allowance starting at 24-26 days per year. But that's not all, our employee benefits program is packed with discounts at top retailers like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Currys PC World, and Vue Cinemas. Plus, enjoy perks like our cycle-to-work scheme and support through our Employee Assistance Programme.
