About Pell Frischmann
Pell Frischmann is a specialist advisory and technical consultancy operating across the built and natural environment, helping to shape a better future for the communities in which we work. We offer consultancy services, with access to specialist sister companies and partners, to support both public and private-sector clients. We work across sectors encompassing buildings, infrastructure, and regeneration.
Originally formed in 1926, we have a unique heritage in delivering client-focused solutions that deliver value through our commercial awareness, sustainable aspirations, and innovative approach. Our distinctive future is defined by our ownership; Pell Frischmann is a part of RSBG SE, the patient capital investment arm of RAG-Stiftung. RAG-Stiftung is a foundation with the long-term public purpose to deal with the environmental and social commitments resulting from the closing of Germany’s coal mining industry. RSBG SE’s mission is to generate sustainable funds for the foundation; so, our work directly contributes to the challenge of fighting global pollution and climate change.
About The Role
Our Environmental Management and Assessment Team is growing and we are looking for an environmental professional to join our environment team with experience in environmental consultancy and environmental planning support across a range of sectors.
The Pell Frischmann team works on a diverse range of schemes and you will be involved with leading and contributing to environmental deliverables on a variety of projects from road, water, rail and housing sectors throughout the UK. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) have recently been undertaken for projects including highway improvement schemes, anaerobic digestion plants, energy from waste facilities, airport capacity expansion projects and regulated water sector schemes.
The role would also involve account and client management activities, contributing to business development and marketing of our expanding service line.
We are a national team and this role could be based out of Pell Frischmann’s Manchester or Birmingham offices. This role will involve working across all of our UK offices to some degree in order to liaise with clients and coordinate the delivery of technical input into environmental management, assessment and permitting, including working with our partner companies and managing our supply chain. The ideal candidate will be experienced at leading environmental assessments, able to deliver objective-led solutions and contribute to growing our business’s capability and recognition.
