Senior Environmental & Planning Manager
Remote (Scotland), with occasional site visits
Salary: competitive, DOE
The Company
Our client is an established developer in the UK energy storage sector. The project has just secured long-term revenue support under the UK's long-duration storage cap and floor mechanism, one of only a handful in the country to do so. That backing gives real certainty at the exact point a senior environmental hire is needed: construction is funded and moving, not speculative.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the environmental and planning strategy as the project transitions from FID into construction and delivery.
- Manage the discharge of planning conditions, working directly with contractors to determine what can and cannot proceed on site.
- Support the engineering team with environmental and consenting judgement calls through the build.
- Stay ahead of regulatory requirements so the project never waits on compliance to keep moving.
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.
