Environmental Manager / Advisor (Contract)
The Opportunity
An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Environmental Manager / Advisor to support a major, high-performing industrial facility in West Yorkshire.
This is a large-scale, energy-from-waste operation, processing over 700,000 tonnes of material annually and generating significant power output, operating on a 24/7 basis. The site forms part of one of the largest facilities of its kind in the UK, with strong internal expertise and established processes.
The role is hands‑on and site‑based focused on maintaining environmental compliance and supporting day‑to‑day operations during a period of absence.
The Role
This is a delivery‑focused position, responsible for:
* Managing environmental permits and ensuring site compliance
* Handling day‑to‑day environmental issues on‑site
* Supporting reactive and emergency environmental incidents
* Completing periodic reporting (e.g. quarterly returns)
* Investigating complaints (e.g. dust, local impact) and driving resolution
* Providing environmental advice to operational teams
* Ensuring issues are resolved quickly to minimise risk
This is an operational role, not strategic‑focused on keeping the site compliant, organised, and running efficiently.
About You
You’ll likely have:
* Experience in highly regulated environments (energy, waste, infrastructure, heavy industry)
* Strong knowledge of environmental permitting and compliance
* A practical, hands‑on approach to site‑based delivery
* Ability to manage reactive issues and stakeholder concerns
* Confidence working in a fast‑paced, 24/7 operational environment
* Ability to work independently, with support from a wider environmental team
This role would suit an Environmental Advisor or Manager with a strong delivery mindset, particularly those with contractor experience.
Working Pattern
* Ideally 5 days on‑site, flexibility down to 3 days
* Site‑based role (not remote)
* Flexibility on which days are worked on‑site
What’s on Offer
* Immediate, high‑impact role with real responsibility
* Strong internal support and established team structure
* Flexible working pattern for a contract role
* Quick, streamlined hiring process
Process
* 1-stage interview (with optional initial call)
