• Supporting business development and helping grow the contaminated land offering within the division
• Working alongside an established geotech team on varied, interesting projects across central London
• Mentoring junior staff and helping set the technical standard

What we're looking for

• Strong contaminated land background - site investigation, risk assessment, remediation
• Proven DQRA experience
• MMP experience (CLAiRE Code of Practice (DoWCoP)
• Experience managing projects and clients independently at Principal or Associate level
• Ambition to grow with a division - technically and commercially
• CGeol, CEnv or working towards chartership (desirable)

Why this role?

• Genuine influence - help shape what the contaminated land practice becomes
