Job Description

Do you enjoy solving real-life problems and creating a positive impact on society? Do you want to work flexibly in a way that empowers you? With Amey Consulting, you will work with high profile infrastructure organisations, giving you the unique opportunity to bring ground-breaking work to life. Your solutions will have an impact, making a genuine difference to people’s lives. You will work in a growing team of passionate, inclusive, and open-minded individuals where your professional development can thrive.

Are you a Senior Environmental Consultant passionate about making a difference and using your skills to improve our highways environment? Do you enjoy finding innovative and sustainable solutions to protect and enhance the environment within the operational infrastructure?

Amey Consulting’s Highways teams impact the journeys of millions across the UK, by working in partnership with a range of clients and providing consultancy design services for the Strategic Highway networks. We are passionate about the highways projects that we design and take pride in seeing our towns and cities thrive by improving connectivity, journey times, and quality of life.

National Highways, formerly Highways England, have named Amey Consulting as a Design partner to support the delivery of the largest and most comprehensive renewals programme and Environment and Wellbeing Designated Funds that National Highways have ever launched. The £3.6bn Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF) enables National Highways to procure Design and Construction services across the Strategic Road Network.

The Role

We are looking to grow our capacity on the Midlands SDF contract for National Highways. The role can be based anywhere in the Midlands as Amey has multiple offices across the region, as well as the ability to work remotely. We view this Senior Environmental Consultant role as a key opportunity to work collaboratively with our design teams and our National Highways clients to build, develop, and lead our delivery of Environmental Assessments across all the SDF projects in the Midlands. This role involves providing input into and review of DMRB (Design Manual for Roads and Bridges) topics including Biodiversity, Landscape, Cultural Heritage, Waste & Materials, Population and Human Health, Climate, and coordinating environmental projects ranging from scoping reports to full environmental assessments.

In a typical week, the job role will require:

• Line management and mentoring of junior team members. Together, you will provide environmental input to SDF schemes around the Midlands. Working with the Senior Ecologist, responsibilities include allocation of resources, managing programmes of work to ensure delivery within budgets and timescales, implementing contractual processes, staff development, document review and authorization, and technical training.
• Input into budgets and forecasting of future work.
• Providing guidance on best practices to meet technical and project requirements through close liaison with Amey designers.
• Keeping up to date with industry best practices.
• Working closely with ecologists to advise on environmental aspects of projects, including environmental assessments, ecological studies, and hazards.
• Undertaking environmental site visits, inspections, and assisting in environmental surveys to inform project designers across multiple disciplines (structures, geotechnical, drainage, highways).
• Preparing and reviewing technical reports in line with relevant legislation, standards, and guidance.
• Liaising with statutory bodies including the Environment Agency, Natural England, and Local Authorities.

We want to hear from you if you have:

• An undergraduate degree in Environmental Science or a similar/equivalent subject, with an interest in various environmental topics including ecology, and at least 6+ years of experience delivering environmental assessment reporting within a consultancy environment.
• Membership of a professional body or relevant qualification.
