Principal Environmental Due Diligence Consultant, Real Estate (London)
Location: London (hybrid)
Join a well-respected UK environmental consultancy and help build out its London team, advising some of the largest private equity investors in the world on global real estate portfolios.
The opportunity
Demand for environmental due diligence is growing fast, and our client is expanding its London team. As Principal Environmental Due Diligence Consultant, you will take ownership of transactional EDD projects from day one, working on high-profile real estate acquisitions, disposals and portfolio deals across the UK and Europe.
This is a rare chance to play a key role in shaping a growing team, working directly with leading private equity, investor and lender clients on complex, high-value transactions. You will also get involved across the full deal lifecycle, from pre-acquisition due diligence through to post-acquisition, with exposure to all aspects of sustainability, ESG and energy.
