Experience of business development, producing consultancy style reports, and inputting into other project deliverables is desirable.
You will work alongside a team of environmental consultants as well other offshore specialists covering planning, ornithology, marine mammals, benthic habitats, and fisheries. We are a growing, forward thinking, collaborative, and open team, helping the UK transition to green energy and reduce carbon emissions. We encourage individuals to maximize their potential and enable individuals to contribute towards the success of the departments, which look to be at the forefront of the industry, adding value to renewables projects and making a difference.
