Core Capabilities

EIA Expertise

You will bring strong practical experience of leading and managing EIA projects across a range of sectors. You will be confident producing and reviewing EIA chapters, screening and scoping reports, Environmental Statements and EIA Reports.

A detailed understanding of the Town and Country Planning EIA Regulations across the UK is essential. Knowledge of the Planning Act and Infrastructure Planning EIA Regulations would also be beneficial.

You will be able to work independently, identify technical gaps and produce clear, accurate and client-ready documentation. You will also be confident representing the business in client meetings and providing authoritative advice throughout the project lifecycle, from feasibility through to consent.

Project Leadership & Delivery

You will lead multidisciplinary teams and coordinate complex project programmes, ensuring that technical inputs are delivered on time and to the required standard. Acting as a central point of contact, you will brief internal specialists, manage delivery risks and maintain oversight of project progress.

You will be comfortable discussing challenges openly with clients, including potential impacts on cost, programme or scope. A professional and solutions-focused approach will be important, as will the ability to contribute to bid development and, where relevant, budget and cost reporting.

Stakeholder Engagement & Relationship Management

You will build effective working relationships with clients, regulators, technical specialists and internal teams. Your communication style will be adaptable, allowing you to explain complex issues clearly to different audiences and maintain trust throughout the project.

You will be comfortable managing expectations, facilitating constructive discussions and handling sensitive conversations with professionalism. Experience of stakeholder mapping, consultation strategies and public engagement, particularly on nationally significant infrastructure projects, would be valuable.

Technical Oversight & Quality Assurance

You will provide detailed oversight of technical inputs, ensuring that project outputs are accurate, clear, consistent and compliant with relevant requirements. You will review specialist work, identify gaps and support teams in strengthening their deliverables.

The role requires a strong eye for detail, sound judgement and the ability to interpret complex environmental information. You will ensure that technical findings are presented clearly and support robust decision-making within planning submissions and examinations.

Mentorship & Team Development

As a senior member of the team, you will support the development of graduates and early-career consultants through guidance, feedback and knowledge sharing. You will help colleagues build their technical confidence, develop their project skills and contribute effectively to client work.

You will help foster a collaborative and supportive team culture, while contributing to continuous improvement and the development of the next generation of EIA professionals.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

You will hold a relevant degree, with a supporting master’s degree being advantageous. Practitioner membership of ISEP would be beneficial.

We are looking for significant practical experience in EIA consultancy, project leadership and the delivery of complex infrastructure or planning projects. Equivalent professional experience will be considered alongside formal qualifications.

Working Environment

This role can be based from our offices in Milton Park (Oxfordshire), Cardiff or Woking. The position offers a hybrid and flexible working approach, combining office collaboration, remote working and project-based travel.

As an indicative arrangement, you can expect to spend approximately two days per week in the office, with flexibility depending on project requirements, team activities and client commitments. Some travel to client offices, project locations, consultation events and meetings may be required.

Working patterns can be discussed to support both business needs and individual circumstances. The role is well suited to someone who values technical variety, collaborative project delivery and the flexibility to work effectively across office, remote and site-based environments.
