Senior Environment Adviser

As a Senior Environment Adviser, you will play a critical role in shaping Wessex Water's infrastructure projects. We're looking for a natural communicator who's willing to speak up and advocate for Wessex Water's work. A collaborative mindset is essential, with an ability to problem-solve and be agile when faced with challenges. This role is about influencing design, driving quality and sustainable outcomes, and ensuring projects meet planning and environmental obligations. You'll need to understand concerns from consultees and residents and be ready to negotiate. Excellent presentation skills will enable you to clearly explain the purpose of our schemes. You'll be able to ensure that teams can understand often complex environmental requirements. Our colleagues have a high degree of autonomy and are responsible for a portfolio of exciting projects, all designed to improve the environment and resilience of the water supply. Rather uniquely, we can work on schemes from feasibility right through to commissioning, bringing significant job satisfaction. We promote a flexible and collaborative culture, welcoming of part-time or full-time applicants. You'll join a team of 50 in-house environmental professionals supported by specialist consultants, travelling to sites across the beautiful West Country.
