This is a unique chance to join a dynamic and collaborative team, contributing to a diverse array of EIA projects focused on large scale energy and infrastructure development.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Professional Growth: Engage in a variety of projects that will challenge and expand your skills. Your contributions will directly influence the success of high-profile initiatives.
- Collaborative Environment: Work alongside a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about achieving high quality environmental outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:
- Prepare EIA Screening and Scoping Requests.

Ideal Candidate Profile:
- A minimum of five years’ experience in an environmental / planning consultancy or public sector environment.
- A relevant degree or master’s in Environment and Development, Environmental Policy, or Planning.
- Practitioner member or above of ISEP.
- Proven experience in co-ordinating EIAs across a wide range of projects.
- Comfortable leading aspects of EIA co-ordination independently, without direct Director supervision.
- Experience with NSIP projects is advantageous but not essential.
This role is perfect for a proactive individual interested in greater project and business-level responsibilities in the field of Environmental Impact Assessment. If you are passionate about environmental sustainability and looking for a career employer, this is role for you.
