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 and the ability to develop strong relationships with internal and external partners. For the senior roles, it’s advantageous to have project management skills too.
For this role, you must have an environmental background and a relevant degree (or equivalent) and are working towards a relevant professional qualification such as Associate or Practitioner IEMA. 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.
