Job description

A leading construction contractor is seeking an Environmental Advisor to play a key role on a flagship UK infrastructure programme. This is a high-impact position with genuine influence over project delivery, environmental performance, and long-term sustainability strategy.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Shaping environmental and sustainability performance across major construction projects, embedding best practice from design through delivery.
• Driving carbon, materials, and environmental management strategies that influence real-world project outcomes.
• Partnering with site teams, engineers, and leadership to turn sustainability commitments into practical, deliverable actions.
• Engaging with clients, regulators, and stakeholders to ensure compliance while enhancing project reputation and performance.
• Using data, audits, and reporting to identify risks, drive improvement, and showcase environmental and sustainability impact.

What we’re ideally looking for:

• Someone confident influencing site teams and senior stakeholders, translating technical requirements into actionable solutions.
• A strong understanding of UK environmental legislation, carbon management, and sustainability frameworks (e.g., PAS 2080, ISO 14001, BREEAM).
• Experience embedding environmental and sustainability processes across live construction projects, not just at policy level.
• A proactive, collaborative mindset with the drive to shape how major infrastructure projects are delivered more sustainably.
