Flexible Role for Experienced Environmental Professional
Delivering environmental management, permitting & compliance, and technical advisory services to UK clients. Working independently and as part of multidisciplinary teams, you'll help clients solve complex environmental challenges. Full-time or part-time, with genuine hybrid working (offices in Wiveliscombe (near Taunton) and Exeter) and a strong emphasis on flexibility, professional trust, and high-quality technical work.
About Aardvark EM Ltd
Aardvark EM is an independent environmental and energy consultancy with a 30-year track record of delivering practical, commercially grounded solutions across the renewable energy, waste, water, and carbon sectors.
We specialise in helping clients navigate complex regulatory environments - particularly where projects fall outside “textbook” solutions. Clients value our honesty, technical depth, and ability to think differently.
Environmental consulting sits at the heart of our business. As part of our growth plans, we are expanding our Energy & Environment division, and this role will play a key part in that journey.
About the Role
You'll take ownership of a varied portfolio of environmental management, permitting & compliance, and technical advisory projects across the UK. Projects may range from environmental permit applications and compliance reviews through to broader environmental management and advisory assignments.
Depending on the nature of the assignment, you'll work independently as a trusted advisor or collaborate within multidisciplinary project teams. You'll be trusted to manage client relationships, apply your professional judgement, and develop practical solutions to complex environmental challenges.
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.
You'll join a supportive, low-ego team where your experience and judgement will help shape project outcomes, client solutions, and the growth of our Energy & Environment division.
What You’ll Do
- Lead and deliver environmental management, permitting & compliance, and technical advisory projects
- Provide practical, commercially-focused, technically sound advice

- Support business development, including proposal preparation and client relationship management
