**Gavia intro**:
Gavia Environmental has been trading for nearly 15 years, and we have established a reputation with our clients as pragmatic, but highly professional environmental consultants. We provide a robust practical service, as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

The UK’s energy generation and transmission systems are undergoing revolutionary change as we progress towards Net Zero. This includes a massive increase in the number of renewable energy developments plus a major upgrade in the country’s energy transmission networks. These developments combined with increasing recognition of the urgent need to protect and restore our peatland landscapes and other protected habitats requires a passionate new generation of environmental professionals to deliver.

At Gavia Environmental, we’re at the heart of these positive developments and this has led to a healthy future order book with several longer-term projects within the energy infrastructure and sectors. Therefore, we need passionate graduates and early-careers professionals to join our team and help us deliver a more environmentally sensitive future.

**Job intro**

We are currently seeking recent graduates to contribute to Gavia’s growing portfolio of renewable energy and linear infrastructure projects. As such we would like to employ two Graduate Environmental Consultant roles to help further expand the capacity of our Hydrology and Geotechnical/Geoenvironmental teams.

- Have some knowledge and practical experience of environmental field work techniques (such as from university field work or volunteering experience)

- Have a full and valid driving licence
- Be willing to work towards appropriate professional membership (e.g. CIWEM, GeolSoc, BHS or similar)

**Role responsibilities**

These roles will be based within our established Hydrology and Geotechnical/Geoenvironmental teams. The exact types of work you’ll undertake will depend on our exact project workload, but could include:

- Sustainable drainage assessment & design
- Flood risk assessment & mitigation design
- Peatland surveying, assessment & restoration design
- Ground investigation & contaminated land risk assessment

There will also be opportunities to collaborate with our in house ecologists and construction environmental advisors on a range of interesting projects and developments.
