Environmental Manager / Advisor (Contract)
Location: West Yorkshire (Site-Based)
Day Rate: £350- £400
Contract Length: 3–6 Month (Potential Extension)
Start: Mid–Late May
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.

* 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
* Work on a flagship UK industrial facility
* 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
