Environmental Advisor
Faraday Office Park Basingstoke
We Care.... and if you are concerned about the environment and what's going on around you - we have a lot in common
If you're at your best out on site, talking to engineers, challenging decisions, spotting risks before they become problems and rolling up your sleeves to put things right, this could be the role for you.
We're looking for a hands-on and experienced field-based Environmental and Ecological Advisor to help us deliver environmental excellence across our projects. This is not a desk-based sustainability strategy role. It's about being present, visible and influential where it really matters - out on site.
You'll be supporting projects through design, construction and reinstatement, ensuring we stay compliant, minimise impact and continuously improve how we work.
Here are some of things you'll be involved with...
* Out on site undertaking environmental assessments and producing practical, workable environmental management plans.
* Working directly with operational teams to ensure works meet legal and regulatory requirements.
* Carrying out inspections and audits in line with ISO 14001, permits and environmental legislation — identifying issues early and driving corrective action.
* Supporting incident management and ensuring lessons are learned, shared and embedded.
* Monitoring environmental performance and translating data into meaningful actions.
* Engaging confidently with colleagues, clients and regulators — providing clear, pragmatic advice.
* Championing best practice and encouraging smarter, more environmentally responsible ways of working.
This role is about being visible, approachable and proactive and not reactive
We'd love to hear from you if you can demonstrate...
Previous experience in an environmental role within civil engineering, construction or utilities is essential.
A solid understanding of relevant environmental legislation and how it applies in real-world project environments.
Experience managing environmental risks and producing environmental plans and reports.
Confidence in challenging where necessary and influencing operational teams positively.
The ability to interpret environmental data and turn it into practical improvements.
A genuine passion for protecting the environment through action, not theory.
A relevant professional qualification e.g., IEMA, CIWEM, IES, CIWM and a degree in an environmental discipline are desireable.
This role is predominantly field-based, so a full UK manual driving licence is essential.
Who this role is ideal for
Someone who enjoys being out on site and working closely with operational teams.
Someone who likes solving real-world problems in real time.
Someone who prefers practical delivery over corporate sustainability strategy.
If you're looking for a purely office-based sustainability or policy role, this isn't the right fit, but if you want to make a tangible difference on live projects and see the impact of your advice every day, we'd love to hear from you.
