Your new role
You will be responsible for overseeing and monitoring environmental performance on construction projects, ensuring activities are carried out in line with environmental standards and regulations. Similar to an Environmental Advisor, the role involves regularly checking site activities, auditing contractor compliance, and producing clear reports on environmental performance and any incidents. They act as a key point of contact on site, supporting teams and stepping in when issues arise to ensure they are properly addressed. The role requires strong construction environmental experience, with a focus on compliance monitoring, detailed reporting, and a good awareness of ecological considerations.
