About the Role
Are you ready to take the next step in your career and contribute to meaningful environmental work? At Tetra Tech, you will join a high-performing, multidisciplinary team of over 30 environmental consultants specialising in Noise, Air Quality, Lighting and Odour (NALO). Our team undertakes surveys, modelling, and assessments for a wide range of projects from small-scale planning applications to major infrastructure developments, supporting clients such as UK MoD, Sainsbury’s, Amazon, local authorities, and commercial developers across the UK and Europe.
As a member of the air quality team, you will undertake surveys, modelling, and assessments to evaluate potential air quality impacts from new developments including housing, industrial, commercial, and educational projects. You will work on projects of varying scale, aiming to protect existing and future residents as well as sensitive ecological receptors from air pollution and odour effects. The role involves producing air quality assessments, conducting environmental surveys (sometimes requiring overnight stays and occasional weekends), and contributing to project management and quality assurance.
We are recruiting across various levels up to Principal, depending on experience. The role includes mentoring and supervising junior staff, managing projects, and supporting your own continuous professional development. Our team operates with a flexible approach to location, but regular office attendance is required for collaboration and client engagement.
