Atkins, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, is one of the world’s most respected design, engineering, and project management consultancies. Atkins Strategic Advisory team combines management consulting, advisory and technical capabilities to help clients solve complex front-end problems in the built environment.
The Role:
There is an increasing demand for environmental and sustainability consultancy services within the MEA, to support the growth of community development and infrastructure projects in real estate, government, utilities (energy, water and waste) and transport sectors. Our clients in these built environment sectors need Environmental strategies not only at the project level, but also at the corporate portfolio and organisational levels.
Our Strategic Advisory team requires an experienced Environmental Consultant to join our centre of excellence in KSA/UAE. The successful candidate will have proven experiences in Environmental Consulting on large-scale international projects and ideally in KSA, UAE and the wider MEA region. The role will require experience in the coordination and delivery of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies, environmental inputs to master planning and of the preparation and implementation of construction related environmental management plans (including site monitoring and auditing).
This is an excellent career development opportunity for the right candidate who is looking to progress their career to the next level and in a fast-paced and exciting field of work. You will join an international team of Environmental experts located locally and across the globe and you will support our key clients by working on mega projects. You will work collaboratively with a range of technical specialists on a broad range of projects, lead and coordinate Environmental services and related deliverables, work
closely with clients, develop new areas of business and mentor others in the team.
The right candidate will be based in KSA or UAE but will be required to work across the broader MEA. Whilst directly reporting to the Strategic Advisory Business Unit, the individual must be able to develop a successful working relationship with the discipline leads of other Business Units within the MEA, as well as the technical specialists in the UK.
Construction site experience desirable.
Key responsibilities:
The role will be varied and will require project management, client and stakeholder liaison, coordination with design and site teams and technical inputs to EIAs and other studies. The candidate will also be expected to carry out associated environmental investigations and reporting, including contributions to design and contract documentation.
The role will cover projects from conception through to delivery on site, so there is likely to be a requirement to support/monitor the work of contractors and to undertake environmental inspections and audits at construction sites, or to support others undertaking these tasks
The priorities of this role include:
Required qualifications and experience:
Degree qualified in a relevant field.
