Introduction
Egis, a global leader in consulting and engineering with 50+ years of expertise, is driving sustainable transport, energy, and infrastructure solutions. Join our people-first team on flagship projects like the M25 in the UK, where our Environment and Sustainability Team is enhancing habitats through ecological and landscape improvement schemes. Explore the Assistant Ecologist role and start your career in ecology with us.
As industry leaders we hold ourselves responsible for today’s biggest challenges; fighting climate change, the digital transition and meeting the needs of growing populations. We do this by designing smart, green infrastructure, transport and buildings, creating a sustainable future for communities everywhere. Joining our group means, above all, sharing our values as a people-first company, strongly committed to sustainability and innovation.
The M25 is one of our Flagship projects in the UK! It is the most used part of the UK Strategic Road Network with it seeing over 200,000 vehicles per day and it’s a critical infrastructure asset for personal and goods vehicles into and around our capital. The network includes around 800 structures and 5 tunnels, so it requires high levels of performance, constant improvement and repairs to keep it operating smoothly.
We’ve formed a Joint Venture project called Connect Plus Services (CPS) to work with our partners to widen, operate and maintain the M25 under a 30-year contract until 2039.
