Are you enthusiastic about carving your path in the world of environment ready to contribute to meaningful change, and eager to join a team where your personal values align with a commitment to building a sustainable future? Look no further, as Ramboll is seeking a talented Senior Environmental Consultant to become an integral part of our pioneering journey.

If you are curious to learn more, then this role could be the perfect opportunity. Join our Compliance, Strategy & Transactions (CST) Team as our new Environmental Consultant and work with us to close the gap to a sustainable future.

Your new role
As our new Senior Environmental Consultant, you will chart your own course with the support of a dynamic team, lead projects with confidence, and embrace continuous learning to excel in your technical field. This role is about innovation, effective project management, and fostering strong client relationships with clients who aim for excellence in environment and sustainability.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

1. Function as a Project Manager overseeing the successful setup and execution of permitting, environmental compliance and management systems projects within Ramboll's framework.
2. Conduct comprehensive environmental audits, support on large-scale multinational audit programs and keep up to date with UK regulatory requirements.
3. Utilise expertise in environmental permitting and BAT to evaluate risks and devise effective mitigation strategies and facilitate knowledge exchange within our European network.

As our new Senior Environmental Consultant you will be part of a fast-growing team providing environmental compliance and permitting support to national and multi-national clients. No two projects are ever the same: whether it’s designing and delivering a compliance programme for a multinational data centre operator, setting out environmental design criteria and permitting for a low-carbon plastics recycling plant, or ensuring a food manufacturing site is decommissioned and demolished to the satisfaction of the regulator, we help clients achieve their plans for expansion and change whilst applying a high level of environmental control. As part of the Ramboll family, we are integral to the delivery of multi-disciplinary projects both at home and abroad, and increasingly have the opportunity to contribute to the transition towards Net-Zero across a range of energy-intensive industries.

Whilst we look forward to supporting your continued learning and development, for this role we have identified some qualifications, skills, and capabilities that will set you up for success.

These include:

1. Understanding of the environmental regulatory regime applied across the UK and experience of auditing and compliance assessment processes.
2. Excellent report writing skills.
3. Project management experience.
4. Proficient in identifying environmental risks and liabilities.
5. Demonstratable experience in environmental consultancy (or similar level of experience with environmental regulations).

What we can offer you

1. Be valued for the unique person you are.
2. Investment in your development.
3. Leaders you can count on, guided by our Leadership Principles.
4. The long-term thinking of a foundation-owned company.
5. Flexible work environment.
