What you'll be doing

- Monitor high-risk and changing activities, including dewatering, concrete works, excavation, lifting, waste movement, out-of-hours works and works near water or ecological constraints.
- Support applications for, and compliance with, environmental consents, licences and permits, ensuring project teams understand conditions and interface responsibilities.
- Coordinate monthly BBCL and BBV sustainability reporting, including the collection, validation and retention of evidence for energy, fuel, water, waste, materials and responsible sourcing data.
- Provide environmental input to SHELT, SELT, high-risk activity reviews and project leadership discussions, highlighting current risks, incidents, performance, upcoming activities and assurance findings.
- Investigate environmental incidents and near misses, support root-cause review, communicate lessons learned and verify that corrective actions are effective.
Who we're looking for
- Working knowledge of UK environmental legislation and construction-related compliance requirements, including pollution prevention, waste duty of care, water protection, nuisance, ecology and environmental incident management.
- Experience of construction site inspections, environmental assurance, RAMS review, incident investigation and advising operational teams on practical mitigation.
- Ability to collect, validate, analyse and present environmental and sustainability performance data, maintaining a clear supporting audit trail.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to engage project leadership, site teams, clients, specialists and supply-chain partners.
- Ability to work across multiple active sites, prioritise emerging risks and provide timely, proportionate advice in a changing construction environment.
- A suitable environmental or sustainability qualification is preferred. Registered Environmental Practitioner status, or progress towards an appropriate professional membership, is desirable.
- A full UK driving licence is desirable due to regular travel between N1N2 sites, subject to reasonable adjustments and practical travel arrangements.
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.
