The Role
We're looking for Environmental Advisors to support a major energy infrastructure project in Scotland. Working as part of a specialist environmental team, you'll help ensure environmental compliance, support project delivery, and drive continuous improvement across site operations.
This role calls for a stronger-than-average candidate, someone confident and capable of challenging site activities where required, and comfortable dealing with demanding stakeholders. The position involves more than site presence alone; substantial documentation and compliance work is a core part of the role.
Key Responsibilities
- Promote environmental best practice across the project
- Conduct regular site inspections and audits to ensure compliance with company procedures, legislation, and project requirements
- Support environmental incident investigations and recommend preventative measures
- Collect and report environmental performance data
- Review environmental information and identify trends and opportunities for improvement
- Assist in the development and implementation of environmental and sustainability initiatives
- Provide advice and support to project teams on environmental matters
- Help identify significant environmental risks and ensure effective controls are implemented
- Support the management of environmental and ecological permits, licences, and consents
- Maintain environmental records and documentation to demonstrate compliance
- Liaise with environmental specialists, ecologists, and external consultants
- Support the wider environmental and sustainability function by sharing best practice
