Senior Environmental Advisor

We’re excited to be partnered with a market‑leading infrastructure organisation delivering some of the UK’s most critical energy transmission projects. As the country accelerates towards a low‑carbon future, this is a rare opportunity to step into a senior, site‑based environmental role where your expertise will directly shape major national infrastructure while protecting some of Scotland’s most remarkable landscapes and wildlife.

This is more than a job. It’s a chance to influence complex projects, work alongside true experts, and leave a positive environmental legacy across large‑scale transmission works in the Scottish Highlands.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading Environmental Excellence – Acting as a key advisor on a major transmission project, ensuring robust environmental controls and compliance are embedded from day one.
• Protecting People, Place & Wildlife – Championing environmental protection across sensitive habitats, species, peatlands, waterways and landscapes.
• Driving Strategy into Action – Implementing the Environmental Management Plan and turning legal and client requirements into practical, site‑ready solutions.
• Being Visible on the Ground – Splitting time between site and office, carrying out walkovers, inspections, audits and real‑time environmental advice.
• Influencing & Educating Teams – Supporting, training and guiding project teams and contractors to raise environmental awareness and best practice.

Who they’re looking for:

• A Proven Environmental Professional – Experience as an Environmental Advisor or ECoW on large construction or infrastructure projects.
• Technically Strong & Practically Minded – Confident across environmental legislation, consenting, monitoring, audits and incident management.
• A Natural Communicator – Able to engage site teams, contractors and stakeholders with clear, credible advice.
• Passionate About Sustainability – Genuinely motivated to protect the environment while enabling critical infrastructure delivery.
• Ready for a Step‑Up Opportunity – Someone keen to grow, develop, and play a senior role within a respected national team.
