Use your environmental expertise to make a visible difference
Are you looking for a role where you can influence environmental decisions from start to finish and see your advice put into practice?
- Do you enjoy turning complex environmental requirements into practical solutions?
- Are you confident influencing multidisciplinary teams and helping projects achieve positive outcomes for both people and the environment?
If so, we'd love to hear from you.
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced environmental practitioner to join our specialist team supporting nationally significant public safety, mine water treatment, river pollution prevention and land remediation projects across Great Britain.
You'll bring sound environmental judgement, strong technical expertise and the ability to provide clear, proportionate advice across a varied portfolio of projects.
You'll Have
- Experience of independently advising live, multidisciplinary projects.
- Applied knowledge of environmental assessment, planning, consenting or permitting, including Environmental Impact Assessment and Habitats Regulations Assessment.
- Experience of engaging with regulators and statutory stakeholders.
- The ability to interpret evidence, review specialist work and make practical, risk-based recommendations.
- A relevant degree or equivalent qualification, or demonstrable equivalent experience.
We're interested in your capability, not one particular career route. You may come from consultancy, regulation, local government, infrastructure, utilities, water, environmental management or remediation.
You don't need mining experience or an exact job title. What matters is your ability to apply environmental expertise, influence decision-making and help deliver positive environmental outcomes.
Working Alongside Project Managers, Engineers And Other Specialists, You'll
- Identify environmental risks, constraints and opportunities throughout the project lifecycle.
- Shape environmental surveys, assessments and consenting strategies.
- Advise on planning, permitting and regulatory requirements.
- Review and assure work delivered by consultants and contractors.
- Engage with regulators and environmental stakeholders.
- Embed sustainability, environmental protection and nature recovery considerations into project delivery.
- Visit sites across Great Britain to understand challenges first-hand, ensure environmental controls are working effectively and help project teams find practical solutions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a senior, independent role where you'll be the trusted environmental advisor, influencing decisions from project conception through to delivery. You'll have the autonomy to provide environmental advice from project conception through to delivery, seeing your recommendations implemented on the ground and making a tangible difference to communities, watercourses, habitats and landscapes.
Unlike many environmental roles where advice ends with a report, you'll remain closely involved as projects progress, giving you the opportunity to see the outcomes of your work and the impact it delivers.
Alongside flexible hybrid working, you'll join a supportive specialist team and contribute to meaningful projects that protect the environment, support nature recovery and improve communities across former mining areas.
