**You’ll have**:
+ Experience of providing consultancy services

+ An excellent understanding of the EIA processes, environmental assessment methods and applicable planning legislation

+ Excellent verbal and report writing skills, including technical reviewing

+ Project management skills, including programming, staff resource management and budget management

+ A degree in a relevant environmental discipline (preferably a Masters degree) and an appropriate professional membership
