• Help ensure environmental compliance, including waste management and authorisations
• Work closely with regulators, clients, subcontractors, and internal teams
• Support training, awareness, and continuous improvement across EQS processes
• Play a key role in developing and improving systems and procedures

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in construction, civil engineering, or infrastructure (preferred)
• Knowledge of ISO 9001 and/or ISO 14001 systems
• Exposure to ISO 50001 or energy management is an advantage
• Experience supporting or delivering audits (internal or external)
• Strong analytical skills with confidence in KPI reporting (including carbon/energy data)
• Strong Excel and MS Office skills
• Excellent written communication and reporting ability
• Proactive mindset with the ability to work independently
• Genuine interest in sustainability, environment, and continuous improvement
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel and occasionally stay away

This is a great opportunity to step into a varied and evolving role within a business that values compliance, quality, and sustainability. You’ll work closely with senior leadership, gain exposure across multiple disciplines, and have the chance to develop your career in a growing and increasingly important area of the business.
