Job Title
ERM is looking for an Industrial Permitting Consultant to join our rapidly growing industrial permitting team. Location is flexible for the right candidate.
About the Role
The role is an exciting opportunity to help lead a range of critical projects for our global Clients, predominantly helping solve regulatory challenges, frequently novel in nature and requiring experience and pragmatism in working with environmental regulators. The role is primarily UK focussed with potential to extend to develop similar projects across Europe.
The role is required to support a range of critical projects for our data centre and wider key clients. The role is expected to be Northern Europe focussed, but there may be some work from EMEA programmes.
Requirements
The role requires working knowledge of the Environmental Permitting/Pollution Prevention Control regimes across the UK. Knowledge of Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) would be a bonus as there are strong links and available backlog associated with ETS. Applicants with detailed knowledge of equivalent European regimes to those in the UK will also be considered.
