Talent Pool – EIA Project Managers (Senior/Managing/Principal) - #1794963

Our time is NOW.

ERM, the worlds largest pure play sustainability consultancy, are keen to connect with experienced EIA professionals at Senior, Managing and Principal Consultant levels. This advert is not for a current live job, it is rather an opportunity to connect, learn more about each other, and to keep in touch regarding future opportunities.

These roles are in our Onshore Renewables & Infrastructure team within Capital Project Delivery. This team is spread across England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. If this is something which potentially interests you for the future, then we'd love to hear from you.

In these roles you will provide expert environmental consultancy services to internal and external clients, as well as leading the work of less experienced team members. You’ll lead environmental inputs for planning applications ranging from screening and scoping to environmental appraisals and large-scale EIA projects, as well as post planning condition discharge. 

You will project manage complex projects including but not limited to onshore wind, solar, battery storage and grid connection. From time to time you’ll also work alongside our marine team on offshore projects, having the opportunity to develop your skills in this area also.

You’ll navigate projects through licencing and consenting processes including DCO and S36, provide strategic advice to clients, and ensure that projects are delivered to schedule and budget. You will maintain and enhance existing client relationships, as well as developing business with new clients, and will represent the company at client meetings, conferences and events.

Why join ERM?

Ask about our Cross Border Remote Working! You’ll have 25 days annual leave + public holidays, 6% employer pension contribution, twice annual promotion opportunities, annual salary review and performance related bonus, private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection, EV car salary sacrifice scheme, Cycle2Work scheme, travel season ticket loan, volunteering and Give As You Earn opportunities, employee assistance programme and premium account for Calm (the #1 app for sleep and meditation) in order to look after your wellbeing, plus discounts on gym membership and gift cards for a wide variety of retailers and restaurants.

We offer employees a safety first, diverse and inclusive culture in which difference is embraced, valued and celebrated.
