With nearly six decades leading the way in environmental consultancy, LUC is dedicated to shaping a brighter future for nature, people, and places. Our mission is clear: to drive positive change.

LUC’s creative and forward-thinking teams tackle complex land use challenges at every scale. Our professionals are committed to addressing the climate and biodiversity crises. We're all about innovation and collaboration, and as we expand further, we're looking for passionate individuals to grow with us and make a positive impact.

Our people make LUC and we do not take that for granted. We offer an excellent remuneration and benefits package, appreciating there is more to a great place to work than the salary

The opportunity

LUC is seeking to appoint a Director in our Edinburgh office, to further develop our EIA and wider impact assessment services. Our specialist EIA teams are involved in some of Scotland’s, and the wider UK’s, most important projects, including nationally significant infrastructure projects which facilitate the decarbonisation of the energy system as well as helping to secure biodiversity enhancement.

You will join a UK-wide team of environmental planners who are leaders in the field of EIA with extensive experience in renewable energy and energy infrastructure impact assessment. You will work across the company, building our portfolio of impact assessment projects in both the energy sector and others.

This is a strategic appointment, playing a key role in the geographical expansion of our services, and boosting leadership for our presence in Edinburgh. The role will suit an individual prepared to take an active role in leading and growing a team as well as generating new business within our existing sectors and additional sectors of interest to the Director and wider team.

This position will offer opportunities for continued progression in a key leadership role for an individual who is a competent manager and respected project director, with the aspiration to progress in a practice where flexibility is not a barrier to career development.

Salaries for director level roles depend on experience and will be discussed individually.
