Alongside this you will be responsible for managing environmental and sustainability issues.

Ideally, you will hold a Bachelor or master's degree in one of the following Environmental Management, Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental Science or Environmental Planning that is accredited by the relevant professional body (CIWEM, IEMA or RTPI).
