- Managing resources and budgets (with support as applicable)
- Leading and supporting business development opportunities and associated fee and technical proposal development
- Promoting AECOM’s environmental services to both internal and external audiences
**You’ll have**:
- Experience of providing consultancy services
- An excellent understanding of the EIA processes, environmental assessment methods and applicable planning legislation
- A detailed understanding of relevant consenting and licensing regimes
- Confidence when engaging with a wide variety of stakeholder groups
- The ability to work collaboratively as part of an established team, coordinating inputs from specialist technical teams
- 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
