You'll also be coordinating technical disciplines for early and effective incorporation of climate change within Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).

Additionally, you'll be highlighting the most impactful areas of influencing decision-makers to foster improvement and identifying value drivers.

Other key responsibilities include preparing high-quality energy, sustainability, and climate change reporting to provide advice to clients and project teams.

You'll also be participating in relevant external expert forums to advance and standardize environmental sustainability performance quantification.

Furthermore, you'll be training and upskilling junior team members on relevant workstreams and project management activities.

We're passionate about our subject matter and shaping the UK's response to the climate emergency.

Our team is a unique blend of engineers and consultants, and we can deliver a wide range of project inputs for our clients from the earliest inception stages and onwards.

We're a lively, good-spirited team, excited about what we're doing and enjoying each other's company.

We're committed to creating a safe environment that nurtures our employees to perform at their best.

We consider all applications individually, with the required qualifications and knowledge, without regard to any of the protected characteristics.

We would like to provide everyone with a fair selection, assessment, and employment experience.

We ask that you inform us of any physical or neurodiverse condition within your application, so we can make appropriate reasonable adjustments.

Once you have completed your application through our careers site, we aim to review and respond to you as soon as your application's been reviewed.

If shortlisted, a member of our Talent Acquisition Team will call you for an initial pre-screen by phone (typically 30 minutes) to help us assess your motivations and interest in the position and Hydrock, now Stantec.
