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.

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

**Role responsibilities**
