Project Start: Mid‑April
Contract: Long‑term major infrastructure project (completion 2032)
About the Project
Taylor Woodrow is delivering a large‑scale infrastructure programme across a 70km greenfield corridor in the East of England. The work covers Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Tilbury. This will include temporary construction works, foundation construction, and extensive early‑stage activities including ground investigations, archaeological works, and DCO‑related environmental compliance.
We are now recruiting a Senior Environmental Advisor to play a key role in shaping environmental performance across the entire lifecycle of this nationally significant project.
The Opportunity
As Senior Environmental Advisor, you will lead environmental compliance, strategy, and on‑site performance across a complex, multi‑disciplinary construction programme. You will be working closely with designers, engineers, ecologists, temporary works teams, planners, landowners, and the National Grid client team.
This is an exciting role for someone who wants to influence best practice, remain hands‑on on site, and guide the project from pre‑construction through to energisation in 2032.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead environmental compliance across the project, ensuring legal, client, and ISO 14001 requirements are met.
* Maintain and update the Environmental Management Plan and communicate environmental risks and controls to site teams.
* Oversee environmental monitoring (noise, dust, water, waste), analyse data, and provide clear reports aligned with National Grid criteria.
* Support and manage activities such as ground investigations, archaeological works, and ecological considerations across a 70km greenfield corridor.
* Advise construction teams on environmental best practice, temporary works impacts, and mitigation measures.
* Build strong relationships with the client, landowners, stakeholders, and internal project disciplines.
* Manage incidents, inspections, and corrective actions, promoting a proactive environmental culture across site operations.
About You
We’re looking for someone who is confident, collaborative, proactive, and not afraid to challenge the norm.
* Degree in an environmental discipline, ecology, geology, civil engineering, or a related technical field.
* Strong understanding of construction environments, temporary works, and environmental constraints.
* Full UK driving licence – role requires movement across a 70km corridor.
* Experience in environmental management on infrastructure, utilities, energy, or major civils projects.
* Strong reporting, communication, and stakeholder‑engagement skills.
