Environmental Manager

Environmental Manager – Major UK New Build Infrastructure Programme £700/day (All Inclusive) | Outside IR35 | 6-Month Initial Contract, Strong Likelihood of Extension This is a major nationally significant infrastructure programme — a long-term, large-scale UK construction project with a build programme spanning many years and a workforce that scales into the thousands. It's the kind of project that becomes a genuine career reference point, and one you'll be talking about for years to come. We're looking for an experienced Environmental Manager to lead environmental management across construction phases on site — someone comfortable operating at the sharp end of a live, multidisciplinary construction environment, not just writing policy from a desk. The details:

• Up to £700 per day, all-inclusive
• Outside IR35
• Site-based role — full location details shared at first-stage screening
• 6-month initial contract with a realistic prospect of extension given the scale and duration of the programme
• Immediate need — early conversations welcome What you'll be doing:
• Leading environmental management and compliance across construction activities, covering legal, contractual, and client requirements
• Acting as a key environmental advisor to project teams, the client, and regulatory bodies
• Coordinating environmental surveys, monitoring, and reporting across multiple work fronts
• Managing environmental incidents from identification through to close-out and corrective action
• Driving continuous improvement plans and embedding sustainable practices into day-to-day construction delivery
• Working alongside multidisciplinary teams — civils, M&E, logistics, and specialist subcontractors — to keep environmental risk under control on a live site What we're looking for:
• Solid track record managing environmental compliance on major construction or infrastructure projects (nationally significant infrastructure, energy, or heavy civils background all relevant)
• Confidence engaging directly with regulators and client stakeholders
• Strong working knowledge of UK environmental legislation and construction environmental management systems
• Someone who can operate independently on site while keeping wider project teams aligned
