Are you ready to take on a pivotal role as a Senior Environmental Planner within our dynamic Environmental Planning Team?
Join us in working on a diverse range of projects across our estate, from deep space infrastructure to military accommodation and nuclear defence. You will be able to apply your expertise in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to enable the delivery of sustainable defence infrastructure for our Armed Forces.
As a key member of our team, you will collaborate with a mix of civilian and military colleagues, external consultants, legal advisors, and senior leaders within the Defence sector and government, both in the UK and overseas.
In this role, no two days will be the same. You will be part of a close-knit team of EIA experts, working together to tackle unique challenges and drive impactful outcomes. While there are currently no line management responsibilities, there is potential for growth as you contribute to the team's development.
Key Responsibilities:
- Provide expert EIA advice and assurance to project teams, ensuring compliance with EIA requirements and undertaking reviews of externally produced EIA documentation.
- Manage team workload effectively to align with defence and security priorities, identifying and mitigating risks to enhance delivery and operational efficiency.
- Contribute to shaping internal EIA policy and guidance documents, actively participating in the development of MOD/DIO related materials.
- Assist in the procurement of consultancy and legal services, ensuring compliance with standards and providing tender assurance.
- Offer informed advice on emerging environmental planning legislation and regulations, delivering clear guidance on potential implications for defence infrastructure delivery.
Travel requirements for this role include visits to various offices and in-person meetings. You will also have opportunities to visit project sites and occasionally attend public consultation events and engage in overseas travel to support defence initiatives.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work on impactful projects, collaborate with a diverse range of professionals, and contribute to the defence sector's mission. If you are a proactive and results-driven individual with a passion for environmental planning, we invite you to be part of our team and make a difference.
