Job Description

We invite you to bring your passion for making a positive impact in environmental and sustainability performance, and your experience of managing environmental issues in industrial processes and facilities, into play as part of Ramboll\'s Compliance, Strategy and Transactions team. We can give you an exciting opportunity to work across a wide range of industrial facilities and sectors to assess environmental compliance and support our clients in operational and transactions advisory situations.

To succeed in this role, you will have a well-developed understanding, based on first-hand experience, of the breadth of environmental risks and issues relevant to industrial operations, and the UK and relevant European regulatory compliance obligations to manage these. Experience of undertaking this role within an environmental consultancy or as an in-house environmental manager in an industrial/manufacturing sector organisation is essential. Knowledge of health and safety compliance would be advantageous but not critical.

We can offer you the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge you have gained in previous roles and use them in transactional due diligence assignments and compliance projects. You will play an important role in the delivery of Ramboll\'s leading transactions and compliance advisory practice and will be working on technically challenging and interesting projects for high calibre clients as part of an enthusiastic, collaborative and highly experienced global consulting team, at the same time as gaining an understanding of commercial M&A transactions structures and how environmental issues are assessed and managed during these projects.

The role also provides an opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in a wider range of services, including ESG, sustainability and carbon advisory, and health and safety, as these services become more mainstream in our transactions and compliance advisory work.

Candidates can be based within a reasonable distance of any of our main office locations as we offer hybrid flexible working.

You will have the opportunity to work with and learn from diverse clients across a wide range of sectors including manufacturing, commercial, energy, and technology. No two projects are ever the same: whether it\'s designing and delivering a compliance programme for a multinational data centre operator, supporting the acquisition of a new site into a global pharmaceutical company, or supporting the divestiture of a group of food manufacturing sites from its private equity holding company, we help clients achieve their plans whilst applying a high level of environmental control. As part of the Ramboll family, we are integral to the delivery of multi-disciplinary projects both at home and abroad, and increasingly contribute to wide ranging Environmental Social and Governance strategies and assignments.

• Comprehensive understanding of the environmental regulatory regime applied across the UK, including relevant European regulations.
• The ability to think beyond the obvious \'here and now\' compliance requirements and identify and assess the \'what if\' scenarios and questions to consider the potential short-to-medium term environmental compliance requirements, risks, and impacts, and advise our clients on these.
• Proficient in identifying environmental risks and liabilities and putting these into context.
• Excellent report writing skills, including the ability to present technical findings, risks, and recommendations succinctly and clearly.
• Project or task management experience, including experience of working to schedules, budgets, and quality standards.
• Experience of, and enthusiasm for, working as part of a team and playing a key role to collectively meet objectives and targets.

Personal qualities that will help you succeed in this role include:

• Investigative mindset with a desire to analyse and understand a situation and develop appropriate improvement or mitigation recommendations.
