Environmental Engineers
Chiswick, West London (hybrid working)
Rates negotiable - please advise rate sought
Potentially 6-12 months of work.
Projects TBC depending on when they start, but likely to be multiple project and potentially multi-GBU.
Requirements
- 10-15 years of experience who has worked for one of our Design Contractor/EPC competitors.
- A hands-on engineer, not a manager or consultant with 25-30 years of experience.
- Experience should be relevant – not a Process Safety Engineer with a few months doing Environmental.
- Water/wastewater treatment experience would also be a plus.
- Not necessarily oil and gas, could also be pharma, power, or other manufacturing.
- We are not looking for someone who has spent most of their career producing or managing EIAs or environmental services (i.e., biodiversity studies, soil remediation, compliance for an operating site).
Role Description
Major Responsibilities
- Plan, execute, and review environmental engineering deliverables for technical accuracy, completeness, and compliance with project and regulatory requirements.
- Develop environmental basis documents, permit support inputs, compliance matrices, discharge criteria summaries, and environmental design inputs for project execution.
- Coordinate with permitting, environmental, engineering, construction, client, and other stakeholders to resolve environmental interfaces, risks, and compliance-related impacts.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
