Environmental Advisor

Environmental Manager / Advisor (Contract)

Location: West Yorkshire (Site-Based)

Day Rate: £350- £400

Contract Length: 3–6 Month (Potential Extension)

Start: Mid–Late May

The Opportunity

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Environmental Manager / Advisor to support a major, high-performing industrial facility in West Yorkshire.

This is a large-scale, energy-from-waste operation, processing over 700,000 tonnes of material annually and generating significant power output, operating on a 24/7 basis. The site forms part of one of the largest facilities of its kind in the UK, with strong internal expertise and established processes.

The role is hands-on and site-based focused on maintaining environmental compliance and supporting day-to-day operations during a period of absence.

The Role

This is a delivery-focused position, responsible for:

• Managing environmental permits and ensuring site compliance
• Handling day-to-day environmental issues on-site
• Supporting reactive and emergency environmental incidents
• Completing periodic reporting (e.g. quarterly returns)
• Investigating complaints (e.g. dust, local impact) and driving resolution
• Providing environmental advice to operational teams
• Ensuring issues are resolved quickly to minimise risk

This is an operational role, not strategic- focused on keeping the site compliant, organised, and running efficiently.

About You

You’ll likely have:

• Experience in highly regulated environments (energy, waste, infrastructure, heavy industry)
• Strong knowledge of environmental permitting and compliance
• A practical, hands-on approach to site-based delivery
• Ability to manage reactive issues and stakeholder concerns
• Confidence working in a fast-paced, 24/7 operational environment
• Ability to work independently, with support from a wider environmental team

This role would suit an Environmental Advisor or Manager with a strong delivery mindset, particularly those with contractor experience.

Working Pattern

• Ideally 5 days on-site, flexibility down to 3 days
• Site-based role (not remote)
• Flexibility on which days are worked on-site

What’s on Offer

• Work on a flagship UK industrial facility
• Immediate, high-impact role with real responsibility
• Strong internal support and established team structure
• Flexible working pattern for a contract role
• Quick, streamlined hiring process

Process

• 1-stage interview (with optional initial call)
• Fast turnaround expected
