Our Client, a Successful and Growing Environmental Consultancy business, are looking for an Associate Director of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)


The Role

We are seeking candidates with extensive expertise in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), encompassing all stages of the EIA process.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Relevant degree or master's in environmental science or equivalent.
  • Recent consultancy experience in a similar Associate/Associate Director role.
  • Expertise in energy, infrastructure, and EIA planning.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of the current UK planning system.
  • Experience with post-submission and determination within the DCO process.
  • Strong client management and presentation skills at senior levels.
  • Excellent project management and report writing skills.
  • Deep understanding of planning legislation across England and Wales.


Also offered is an exceptional benefits package which includes;

  • Growth bonus, enhanced pension, and death in service cover
  • Private medical insurance and BUPA Cash Plan
  • Hybrid work, extra annual leave, and loyalty leave (up to 5 days)
  • Career progression, CPD, and professional membership support
  • Employee discounts (Amazon Prime, cinema tickets, Apple benefits)
  • Employee Assistance Program (financial and mental health support)
