We’re partnered with a leading UK construction and civil engineering business to appoint an Environmental Advisor who wants to get out from behind the desk and make a genuine, visible impact.
This is a hands-on, field-based opportunity where you’ll be right at the heart of live civil engineering projects - working alongside engineers and operational teams, spotting environmental risks before they become problems, challenging decisions when needed and turning environmental standards into practical action.
What you'll be doing:
- Be the Environmental Expert on Site – Get out where the action happens, undertaking environmental assessments and developing practical management plans that work in the real world.
- Drive Compliance & Best Practice – Work closely with operational teams to ensure projects meet environmental legislation, permits and regulatory requirements.
- Spot Risks Before They Escalate – Carry out inspections and audits against ISO 14001 and environmental standards, identifying issues early and driving meaningful corrective action.
- Turn Incidents Into Improvement – Support environmental incident management, making sure lessons are captured, shared and embedded to continually raise standards.
- Influence Positive Change – Monitor environmental performance, translate data into practical actions and confidently engage with colleagues, clients and regulators to champion smarter ways of working.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who they're looking for:
- Experienced in the Field – You’ll have previous environmental experience within civil engineering, construction or utilities, with a strong understanding of how environmental legislation applies to live operational projects.
- Practical & Solutions-Focused – You enjoy getting stuck into real-world challenges and finding workable solutions rather than simply producing theory or strategy from behind a desk.
- Confident to Challenge – You’ll be comfortable advising operational teams and have the confidence to challenge decisions when environmental standards or risks demand it.
- Passionate About the Environment – Most importantly, you genuinely care about protecting and enhancing the environment and want to see the tangible impact of your work every day.
- Qualified & Ready to Go – A relevant environmental degree and professional membership/qualification such as IEMA, CIWEM, IES or CIWM would be desirable. A full UK driving licence is essential.
