Job Description
Are you passionate about improving the environmental performance of infrastructure development projects and helping Ireland to deliver its net zero commitments? If so, we’d love to hear from you at AECOM.
By joining us, you will work daily with technical experts within our established Impact Assessment team which comprises over 170 staff across Ireland and the UK. We are a founding member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) EIA Quality Mark, whilst everything we do aligns with our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy.
As we are a national team, we are flexible in terms of office location – this includes offices in Dublin, Cork and Galway as well as taking advantage of our flexible hybrid working model.
At AECOM, we’re at the forefront of innovation, delivering an exceptional portfolio of projects brought through long-term partnerships with key clients. This position offers an opportunity to manage environmental inputs to large-scale development projects that are transforming our infrastructure – this includes:
* Energy generation projects, including renewables (solar farm and onshore windfarm projects), carbon capture and storage, and hydrogen;
* Energy distribution and transmission projects;
* Highway improvements and greenway projects;
* Carbon capture pipelines;
* Strategic national and regional rail projects;
* Regeneration projects, including portside developments;
* Developments within the e-commerce, minerals and waste, water, defence, aviation, commercial/residential and industrial sectors.
Here’s what you’ll do:
* Provide Expertise: As a Principal Environmental Consultant you’ll manage environmental inputs to EIA Screening and Scoping reports, Environmental Impact Assessment Reports, Environmental Considerations Reports and supporting documents, including the technical review of specialist chapters.
* Ensure Quality: Your role requires a critical eye for detail to ensure that our deliverables are produced to the highest quality standards and compliance with our rigorous quality management procedures.
* Project Management: Make effective use of your project management skills, appropriately managing resources and budgets (with support as applicable).
* Collaborate: You will be working as part of integrated design teams to improve the environmental outcomes of our projects – you will identify environmental constraints, identify impact avoidance and mitigation solutions, as well as opportunities to deliver benefits.
* Client Contact: Your role will require the management of client relationships and internal supply teams.
* Growth: You will promote AECOM’s environmental services to both internal and external audiences. You will identify and lead business development opportunities and associated fee and technical proposal development.
Qualifications
