Consents & Environment Manager

Are you ready to elevate your career in environmental management? This role offers a unique chance to lead and shape the future of major infrastructure projects while making a significant impact on environmental sustainability. Why This Role Stands Out: - Leadership and Influence: Take charge of consents condition discharge, environmental licensing, and the preparation of environmental contract specifications. Your expertise will ensure timely project delivery and compliance with statutory and internal obligations. - Strategic Coordination: Oversee and monitor contractor and client compliance, aligning with sector-leading environmental and sustainability goals. Your role will be pivotal in meeting all statutory and internal obligations. - Stakeholder Engagement: Develop and maintain critical relationships with consenting bodies, statutory authorities, and key consultees. Your ability to build consensus and foster mutually supportive relationships will be essential. - Sustainable Relationships: Collaborate with contractors and project teams to elevate environmental and regulatory performance. Your efforts will contribute to creating a culture of excellence in compliance. - Quality Assurance: Conduct scheduled inspections and audits to ensure adherence to environmental and planning consent requirements. Your attention to detail will safeguard the integrity of our projects. What You Bring to the Table: - Project Management Expertise: Demonstrable experience in managing major projects, including setup, delivery, consultant management, cost control, risk assessment, quality assurance, and timing. Your comprehensive understanding of these elements is crucial. - Stakeholder Management Skills: Proven ability to represent client interests externally, with a track record of engaging, influencing, and negotiating to develop effective relationships. - Educational Background: Ideally, an environmental-related degree, preferably with a postgraduate qualification, coupled with experience in infrastructure or environmental consultancy. Experience in consenting and delivering major and national projects is highly valued. - Professional Membership: Membership of an appropriate environmental professional body is desirable, underscoring your commitment to the field. This role is based in the vibrant city of Edinburgh, offering a dynamic work environment and the chance to be part of transformative projects. If you are passionate about environmental management and ready to take on a challenging and rewarding role, this is your moment to shine.
