Overview

At Clancy, we’re delivering some of the South’s most significant water infrastructure projects while protecting the habitats, watercourses and communities they serve.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Environment & Sustainability Manager to support the delivery of two major projects: Southern Water’s Andover Link Main and Portsmouth Water’s Havant Thicket Reservoir pipeline scheme.

Working closely with our Head of Environment, you’ll lead the day-to-day environmental delivery across both projects, helping ensure environmental risks are effectively managed and project commitments are met throughout construction.

You’ll work alongside Project Managers, site teams, Environmental Advisors, Ecological Clerks of Works, specialist consultants and client representatives to coordinate environmental activities, manage permits and consents, support compliance and drive a positive environmental culture across the projects.

This is an opportunity to influence two flagship schemes from the outset and see the direct impact of your work on projects that will leave a lasting legacy.

Here’s some of the activities you’ll be involved in…

  • Leading day-to-day environmental delivery across both projects.
  • Managing environmental permits, licences, consents and approvals.
  • Producing and maintaining environmental documentation, including Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs).
  • Identifying environmental risks and ensuring effective mitigation measures are implemented.
  • Coordinating ecological, environmental and archaeological requirements throughout construction.
  • Delivering audits, inspections, incident investigations and compliance reporting.
  • Supporting project sustainability objectives and identifying opportunities to improve environmental performance.
  • Building effective relationships with clients, regulators, landowners and key stakeholders.
  • Providing guidance and support to Environmental Advisors and Ecological Clerks of Works.

We’d love to hear from you if you can demonstrate the following…

  • Extensive experience working in the environmental sector, ideally within construction, utilities, water or infrastructure projects.
  • In-depth knowledge of environmental legislation and environmental compliance requirements.
  • Significant experience in waste management and a detailed understanding of environmental permits and compliance.
  • Significant experience working with ecology, archaeology, arboriculture and water environment specialisms.
  • Proven experience writing, coordinating and managing consents, assents, licences and permit applications.
  • Experience developing, implementing and maintaining environmental management plans and environmental controls on complex projects.
  • Experience implementing and working within ISO14001 environmental management systems.
  • The confidence to influence operational teams and challenge where environmental standards are at risk.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to build effective relationships with clients, regulators, landowners and project teams.
  • A degree or equivalent qualification in an environmental discipline.
  • Membership of a relevant professional body such as ISEP, CIWEM, IES, CIWM or similar. IEMA Practitioner membership, or the demonstrable capability to operate at that level, would be advantageous.
  • A full and valid UK driving licence.
  • The full right to work in the UK.
