At Atmos, our team come to work knowing they are working for an organisation committed to growing and developing its people by offering an inspiring and supportive place to work. Our purpose is simple – 'to enable sustainable development that realises our clients' vision, protects the environment and enhances the world we live in.'

  5. Preparation and review of written technical reports for approval by Project Directors.
  6. Taking a lead role in business development through engagement with Atmos' own professional networks and the development of their own.
  7. Acting as a client account manager for larger clients ensuring that their needs are met and securing opportunities for repeat business.
  8. Mentoring and advising junior staff (in a line management capacity where appropriate) and acting as a 'go to' for technical advice.
  9. Assisting the Technical Director with the management of the team including finance and budgeting, business planning and forecasting.
  10. Deputising for the Technical Director as appropriate.
The Person:

The ideal candidate would have:

  1. A degree in an environmental discipline and 5 or more years' experience.
  2. Holding Chartered Environmentalist or Town Planner status or making significant progress towards it.
  3. Robust project management skills with a proven ability to plan and deliver works in line with budgets and programme deadlines.
  4. Ability to work calmly under pressure and to juggle competing demands effectively.
  5. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively with multifunctional teams both internally and externally.
  6. Excellent report writing skills and attention to detail.
  7. In-depth understanding of the planning and environmental assessment legislations across the UK.
  8. Experience of growing clients and undertaking business development activities would be an advantage.
  9. Experience of line management and mentoring of junior staff.
  10. Full Driving Licence.

Atmos is unique in offering the benefits of a large company but in a small, family-friendly environment. In addition to rewarding you with a competitive salary and other standard benefits including 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays) and pension schemes, Atmos offers:
