You’ll have a thorough understanding of these key assessment aspects so that conclusions can be reviewed, questioned, and challenged.

You’ll have 25 days annual leave + public holidays, 6% pension contribution, EV car salary sacrifice scheme (Octopus), twice annual promotion opportunities, annual salary review and performance related bonus, private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection, employee assistance programme, volunteering and Give As You Earn opportunities, travel season ticket loan, premium account for Calm (the #1 app for sleep and meditation), Cycle2Work Scheme, plus discounts on gym membership and gift cards for a wide variety of retailers and restaurants. We also offer employees a Safety First, diverse and inclusive culture in which difference is embraced, valued and celebrated.

About you

You’ll be degree qualified in a relevant technical subject and have demonstrable project experience in either marine consultancy, academia or working for Regulatory Bodies, Statutory Nature Conservation Bodies (SNCBs), or environmental Non-governmental Organisations (eNGOs).

You should have experience of practical application of EIA procedures, and working knowledge of marine offshore wind farm impacts, and HRA. You’ll also require a good understanding of UK marine policy, legislation, and consenting issues.
