NEAS specialise in evaluation of environmental and social risk and how it effects the Agency’s strategic plans and major infrastructure projects. We ensure that we correctly identify potential environmental risk at an early stage and work as a client service with Area and the project team, using the tools of EIA or SEA, to manage any inherent socio-environmental risks and deliver positive outcomes. The team provide the Agency’s professional resources in Heritage and Landscape Architecture.
You'll have excellent communication skills, the ability to develop strong relationships with internal and external partners and project management skills.

• show where you’ve worked with others to deliver environmental success
• have experience reviewing statutory environmental statements, and SEAs and co-ordination of statutory EIA
• be able to demonstrate a good understanding of different technical areas of expertise, such as habitats regulations, planning or environmental design
• have obtained or be working towards Full or Chartered Membership of your professional institution (e.g. IEMA or CIWEM).
We are always looking at good practice from other sectors and so experience in the water industry is not essential, if you have valuable experience to offer.
