We are looking for environmental professionals across all levels of experience to support our Environmental Management and Assessment Team in Scotland, based from either our Glasgow or Edinburgh office (Hybrid). We have an exciting portfolio of projects spanning sectors such as onshore and offshore renewables, aviation, nuclear, rail, and more. We need people with a creative spirit, a dedicated approach and a solid grounding in environmental design, assessment and management at any stage of the development project lifecycle.
As one of the largest environmental consultancies in the UK, WSP works on projects ranging from small developments to major national infrastructure schemes. Our Environmental Management and Assessment Team oversees and manages the environmental inputs to these schemes, with involvement through their lifecycle.
Our early engagement at the concept and option stages helps us to shape projects that reflect the challenges of sensitive environments and communities. In supporting continued design through to consent application, we work closely with environmental specialists, other professionals, and stakeholders to develop proposals that fit with and enhance the environment and communities they sit within. We aim to build wider benefits of improved habitats, cleaner air and water, lower carbon and overall environmental gain, and ensure practice meets commitment on approved schemes.
