Belfast, United Kingdom Tetra Tech Full time

Are you a confident Principal Environmental Specialist with a broad range of expertise in either waste, permitting, EIA, Air Quality, or Noise? Are you looking for flexibility, diverse projects or opportunities to develop your career without the glass ceiling? Or an experienced Senior Environmental Specialist looking for a step up with the support of a strong technical and leadership network?

**Who is Tetra Tech?**

Tetra Tech is a leading provider of high-end consulting and engineering services for projects worldwide. We combine the resources of a global, multibillion dollar company with local, client-focused delivery in more than 400 locations around the world. We are Leading with Science® to provide sustainable and resilient solutions for our clients.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. They help our clients succeed, our business prosper and the communities we work in thrive. We need the very best designers, project managers, engineers, surveyors, town planners, environmental specialists and business service professionals to maintain our reputation as a market leader. We do this by taking care of our people; offering fantastic flexible benefits, providing personal and professional development, and giving employees the opportunity to work on exciting and ground-breaking projects.

We don’t want Tetra Tech to be just your next role, we want it to be a step-change in your career and ultimately a move that you are proud to have made.

**The Role**

As a multidisciplinary consultancy, we work closely with colleagues from other teams including EIA, Waste, Planning, Noise, Air Quality, Permitting, Geo-environmental, Sustainability, Engineering, and Asset Management. Working together we identify new opportunities, tender and deliver a range of projects. The Principal Environmental Specialist will liaise with other teams on a regular basis, supporting through all stages of a project.

We work across a breadth of sectors including Residential, Defence, Energy, Government Services, Rail and Transport. Examples of projects we currently work on include:

- Principal Environmental Advisor to Translink (Northern Ireland);
- Noise & Air Quality Monitoring and Assessments in support of Residential and Industrial Planning / Permit Applications;
- Waste Management Advice to a range of local authorities and private operators;
- Industrial and Waste Water Discharge Consents for a wide range of Public & private Sector clients; and
- Contaminated Land & Oil Storage Regulation Advisors to clients owing fuel storage portfolios.
- Marine dredging & re-use feasibilities,
- Geothermal feasibility, investigation, and Implementation,
- Carbon Reduction and Net Zero Strategy and Implementation.
- Environmental Due Diligence & Environmental Social Governance (ESG).

Given the wide range projects we work on, we are looking for a Principal Environmental Specialist who can confidently adapt their technical knowledge to specific client and project requirements. With support from the regional Environmental Lead and the wider national team, and in line with our defined career framework, they will develop their expertise and business across a range of technical areas. They will be able to provide direction in respect of technical report quality, health and safety management and budget control.

Projects will predominately be focused in Northern Ireland, but we support our colleagues in Ireland, GB and on international projects, as required. However, we operate fully flexible, hybrid working which allows our Environmental Specialists to choose where, how and when they work as long as our clients are receiving the high-quality service they expect. We focus on talent and skills, not postcode. The role may require some flexibility to accommodate short term site work (i.e. site visits and inspections / client meetings) as well as working closely with the regional lead, mentoring and managing other Environmental Specialists and developing relationships with clients and colleagues from other teams so may require some time at an office or alternative working space to suit those involved.

**About the team**
- Over 100 permanent environmental staff across 17 offices working as one cohesive team.
- Time away from home minimised.
- IT systems allow seamless remote and flexible working, so proximity to an office is not a barrier
- we focus on talents & skills, not postcode. Our environmental staff can work on the projects that interest them and deliver them to the highest standards.
- Career frameworks provide clarity on how to progress.
- We encourage the development of well-rounded environmental consultants who can talk about the various stages of a project. We offer internal and external training and mentoring, including from our inhouse experts.
- And to show our support of personal development, we award a significant financial bonus to anyone achieving Chartered status.
- We work closely with many other teams, including our own Pla
