As our new EIA Associate, you will manage and deliver environmental inputs primarily to urban regeneration and master planning projects, providing strategic and project specific environmental advice across all stages of the project lifecycle; from site selection and early consenting strategy development, through feasibility, optioneering and outline design, to detailed design, discharging of consents and construction.

We're looking for individuals who are passionate about delivering effective environmental and sustainability inputs and positively influencing the performance of property and urban regeneration projects. You will be able to set the strategic direction of projects, as well as effectively manage resources and budgets.

Your key responsibilities will be:
