Job Description
Start here. Grow here.
Are you passionate about positively influencing the environmental performance of marine development projects? Join our team as a Senior Marine Consultant and you will have the opportunity to work on our range of marine projects in sectors such as offshore wind, subsea cables, ports and harbours, and a variety of coastal developments. By joining us, you will work daily with technical experts, including our in-house marine ecology and physical processes teams. You will be based within our established Environmental Impact (EIA) team which comprises over 165 staff across the UK and Ireland. We are a founding member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) EIA Quality Mark, whilst everything we do aligns with our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy.
As we are a national team, we are flexible in terms of office location – ideally, you would be based in one of our offices across the UK including Basingstoke, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Croydon, Dublin, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Leeds, London Aldgate, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Plymouth, St Albans and Warrington, as well as taking advantage of our flexible hybrid working model.
At AECOM, we’re at the forefront of innovation, delivering an exceptional portfolio of marine programs and projects through long-term partnerships with key clients, many of which are related to power generation (e.g. floating offshore wind) and transmission (including international interconnectors) as well as a wide variety of other sectors such as subsea cables, ports and harbours and coastal developments.
In this role, you will support and input to our growing portfolio of high-profile marine projects.
Here’s what you’ll do:
* Provide Expertise: As a Senior Marine Consultant, you’ll support the management of environmental inputs across a diverse range of marine projects. Coordination of the production of EIA screening and scoping reports, environmental assessments/ Environmental Statements (and in the future Environmental Outcomes Reports) and supporting assessments and documents, including the technical review of specialist chapters will be a key part of this role. You’ll be involved in all project life stages from early strategy development and site identification studies, through feasibility, optioneering/ option selection and outline design, to detailed design, discharging of conditions, construction, and scheme operation/ maintenance. You will also have the opportunity to provide guidance and support to more junior staff members, helping to share knowledge throughout the team.
* Ensure Quality: Your role requires a critical eye for detail to ensure that our deliverables are produced to the highest quality standards and compliance with our rigorous quality management procedures.
* Project Management: Make effective use of your project management skills, appropriately supporting the management of resources and budgets.
* Collaborate: You will work as part of an integrated team to improve the environmental outcomes of our projects – you will identify environmental constraints, identify impact avoidance and mitigation solutions, as well as opportunities to deliver benefits.
* Client Contact: Your role will require supporting senior staff with the management of client relationships, internal teams and subcontractors.
* Growth: You will promote AECOM’s environmental services to both internal and external audiences. You will identify and lead business development opportunities and associated fee and technical proposal development.
If you're passionate about innovation and turning bold ideas into reality, AECOM welcomes you. Join our team, where we don't just construct infrastructure but also uplift communities and enhance lives.
