Are You an Environmental Professional Who Wants to Make a Real Impact on Live Projects?

If you're driven by doing things the right way, thrive in complex construction environments, and want your environmental expertise to genuinely influence outcomes on site - keep reading.

This role isn't about ticking boxes. It's about owning environmental performance, shaping sustainable construction practices, and being the person others rely on to get it right.

As an Environmental Coordinator, you'll be at the heart of project delivery – ensuring environmental compliance, protecting natural resources, and embedding best practice across construction activities.

You’ll work closely with site teams, specialists, consultants, and clients to make sure environmental considerations aren't an afterthought – they're built in from day one.

• Provide environmental input into bids, sustainability strategies, and risk assessments

• Lead investigations into environmental incidents and implement corrective actions
• Deliver toolbox talks and briefings that actually influence site behaviour
• Raise awareness and drive a culture of environmental responsibility

• Support biodiversity net gain, carbon reduction, and circular economy initiatives
• Help turn sustainability ambitions into measurable results on live projects

• Have 3‑5+ years' experience in an environmental role within construction, civil engineering, or consultancy
• Understand UK environmental legislation, permitting, and compliance inside out
• Have hands‑on experience developing and delivering environmental management plans
• Are confident working with monitoring data, audits, and regulators
• Communicate clearly and professionally with site teams and stakeholders
• Take ownership, spot risks early, and enjoy solving problems before they elevate

• Degree (or equivalent) in Environmental Science, Environmental Management, or related discipline
• Strong working knowledge of ISO 14001
• Full UK driving licence
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365

• Experience with GIS, environmental data logging, or digital reporting tools
• Familiarity with CDE platforms (e.g. Procore, Aconex)
• CSCS card or equivalent
• ISEP/IEMA Practitioner membership (or working towards)
• Soc Env registration (REnvTech or progressing to CEnv)

• Your work directly influences environmental outcomes on real projects
• You’ll be trusted to lead, not just support
