About the Role



Join us for an extraordinary opportunity. Be part of a major aviation project in the Greater London area, that will redefine the future of air travel and delivery excellence.

Examination: Manage responses to the Examining Authority’s Questions (ExQs), hearings, and action trackers to ensure submissions are coherent, timely, and evidence-based.


Post-Decision: Implement and manage the requirements-discharge framework, ensuring consents and conditions are satisfied prior to works commencing.





  • Management of EIA Consultants


Coordinate, and quality-manage all EIA consultant teams on behalf of Bechtel and the customer, ensuring delivery of a legally robust, well-structured Environmental Statement (ES) and supporting environmental assessments.


Set scopes of work, manage schedules and budgets, and ensure EIA outputs integrate with the design, engineering, and planning workstreams.


Chair review meetings, track progress, manage risks, and maintain consistency in environmental reporting across all technical chapters.


Oversee the quality of EIA evidence used in stakeholder engagement, pre-application submissions, and Examination responses.





  • Stakeholder & Authority Engagement


Support negotiations on protective provisions, side agreements, and technical approval processes.


Ensure clear and effective communication channels across the project, including with community engagement teams.





  • Reporting & Evidence Management


Produce and maintain a consents look-ahead, quarterly updates, and governance reports.


Ensure all consents deliverables, approvals, and evidence are stored and controlled in accordance with programme requirements.




Qualifications

Proven track record delivering permits and consents, ideally on complex transport or aviation projects.


Strong understanding of the Planning Act 2008, the EIA and HRA Regulations, and secondary consents.


Demonstrated experience managing environmental consultants, technical assessments, and environmental evidence bases.


Excellent stakeholder engagement and negotiation skills.


Ability to manage complex schedules, risks, and reporting frameworks.




Required Skills
