Graduate Environmental Consultant

As we continue to grow the support offering to the offshore energy industry, we have a need for a Graduate Environmental Consultant to join our Permits & Licensing team within the Environment division.

The successful candidate will support a variety of multi-disciplinary marine infrastructure projects for a range of clients across the UK and internationally. You will have the opportunity to work in different technical subjects, in multiple industries to include but not be limited to, UKCS oil & gas projects, ports & harbours, and offshore renewables, across the full project lifecycle; from early concept, right through to operations and decommissioning.

Day to day activities include:

  • Desktop studies
  • Analysis of environmental data
  • Impact assessments
  • Preparation of clear and concise environmental reports
  • Licenses and consents documentation

You may also undertake project management responsibilities and managing budgets, dependent on experience.

As a valued member of the team, you will be supported and mentored on the development of your career and will be given responsibility and purpose from day one. Within the role you will be given structured training on different industries that we work in (and synergies between them), on specific environmental technical topics, and project management.

Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

Xodus is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive culture whereby everyone has a strong sense of belonging and can be themselves at work. We believe diversity drives innovation and we continually work to grow our network of people to give us the chance to be the best company that we can.

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.
