About The Opportunity
As a Health Assessment Consultant at Jacobs you will have the opportunity to influence positive health and social outcomes for some of the most exciting major projects in the UK, Ireland and further afield.
The opportunity requires someone with experience in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). In particular we are looking for individuals who understand HIA principles and have experience of how these can be applied in practice to statutory assessment processes applicable to consenting major infrastructure developments, including EIA and Development Consent Orders (DCO).
You will be required to work collaboratively across diverse teams of environmental, engineering, planning and stakeholder engagement specialists, to deliver high quality work in the following related fields of assessment
* Population & human health assessments as part of EIA or Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) processes
* Health Impact Assessment (stand alone or within Integrated Impact Assessment) for planning applications, plans and programmes
Typical activities in this role will include
* Searching out and analysing relevant health and social data to inform desk-based population health studies and socio-economic assessments
* Drafting and editing population & human health assessment chapters for Environmental Statements, ensuring work is clearly presented, evidence-based, proportionate and aligned to relevant guidelines
* Engaging with stakeholders and local communities to understand the relevant contexts and priorities for assessment
* Embedding principles of participation and sustainable development in the planning and delivery of our projects
* Providing input to related types of assessment including Social Impact Assessment, Child Rights and Wellbeing Assessment, and Equality Impact Assessments
* Applying appropriate consultancy skills such as prioritising tasks, managing time within budgets and delivering to programme
* Providing advice, inputting to bids and scopes of work, and writing up case studies for completed projects
Our health and social assessment team specialises in consenting for nationally significant infrastructure projects across the UK, Europe and beyond. We provide technical expertise for clients and projects across a range of sectors such as water resource management, flood risk management, renewable energy, transport and global health. We are part of the wider Water & Environment business, providing holistic services to help our clients meet their objectives across areas such as social value, sustainability and climate resilience.
We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work.
Here's what you'll need
* A degree in public health or a relevant discipline (e.g. human geography, planning, environmental science or similar) (Masters degree or higher is desirable)
* Experience in the preparation and delivery of health assessments within EIA for various sectors and and/or experience of HIA for planning applications
* A good understanding of key concepts such as wider determinants of health, health inequalities, vulnerable groups, population health, mitigation hierarchy and EIA process and legislation
* Ability to interpret health data and present key health assessment findings in a manner appropriate for a range of technical and non-technical stakeholders
* Ability to scope proportionate health and social impact assessments and tailor approaches to be suitable for specific client requirements, sectors and jurisdictions
* Membership of a recognised relevant professional body (e.g. IEMA) (Full Membership and Chartership is desirable)
