Join AECOM’s established Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) team of over 165 professionals across the UK and Ireland. As a Senior Environmental Consultant, you will coordinate environmental inputs to EIA screening and scoping reports, Environmental Statements, and supporting documents, including technical review of specialist chapters. You will be involved throughout all project life stages from early strategy and site identification, through feasibility, optioneering, outline and detailed design, to construction and operation.
