About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Consents & Environmental Manager to join our team at SSEN Transmission. As a key member of our team, you will play a critical role in facilitating Scotland's ambitions to meet NetZero by connecting renewable energy and transporting it to the core centres of demand.

You will be responsible for managing and mentoring a small team of Consents and Environment Managers to help deliver clusters of projects. Additionally, you will bring your experience and expertise in consenting and delivery to lead on specific, high-profile, and complex projects.

Main Duties and Responsibilities
  • Actively manage, develop, mentor, and train a small team of Consents and Environment Managers and less experienced staff, supporting their individual performance and development within the wider team.
  • Lead on Consents condition discharge, environmental licensing, the preparation of environmental contract specifications, and obligations to ensure facilitation of timely project delivery.
  • Coordinate and monitor Contractor and SSEN environmental and consenting compliance and meeting all statutory and internal obligations and our sector-leading environmental and sustainability ambitions.
  • Scope, tender, award, and manage multiple consultancy contracts to support the delivery of EnvCoW support services and post-planning submission surveys and assessments.
  • Develop, control, and build critical external stakeholder relationships (consenting bodies, statutory authorities, key consultees), communicating the criticality of infrastructure and the project requirements, building consensus around project decision making, and create an environment of mutually supportive relationships.
What We Offer

We offer an excellent package with 34 days annual leave entitlement, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, discounted healthcare, salary sacrifice car leasing, and much more. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and encourage applicants from all protected characteristics.

What We're Looking For
  • Demonstrable experience in managing, developing, mentoring, and training a team of environmental professionals; actively supporting their individual performance and development within the wider team.
  • Demonstrable project management experience and understanding of how to manage all aspects of the delivery of major projects, including project set up and delivery, management of consultants, costs, risk, quality, and timing.
  • Ability to represent SSEN's interests externally at a senior level, with previous provable stakeholder management skills, including engaging, influencing, and negotiating to develop effective relationships.
  • Ideal candidates will have an Environmental-related degree, preferably with postgraduate qualification, coupled with experience in a relevant industry (e.g., infrastructure, environmental consultancy dealing with consenting and delivery of major and National projects).
