Would you like to use your competences to support the operation of our offshore wind farms?
Join us and become our new Assistant Environmental Manager in the Environment and Licensing department.
You will be responsible for providing support to the team in connection with all activities relating to planning permissions, environmental impact assessments and environmental monitoring across the development, construction and operational phases of our wind farms.
The department is responsible for delivering environmental impact assessments, consent applications and manages environmental surveys, specialist consultants and environmental monitoring programmes. We also cooperate with regulators to ensure compliance with all conditions for our operational wind farms.
The department is part of Wind Power, a large and rapidly growing business unit with 1200 committed employees. You will be joining the world's largest developer of offshore wind energy, and currently, more than 300 engineers are working with several large-scale offshore wind projects in the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark and France.
You will be based at our London Belgravia office in the United Kingdom. However, you should expect some travelling to our other sites in the United Kingdom and to Denmark in connection with your work.
Areas of responsibility
Together with 13 committed and skilled colleagues, you will primarily assist with the coordination of our environmental impact assessments, planning applications and license consents and ensure that our wind farms are designed and built to fulfil our consent conditions and our environmental monitoring conditions.
In addition, you will contribute to the process concerning our environmental impact assessments, including review, edit and production of environmental statements for onshore and offshore wind farms.
Furthermore, your key duties will be to:
- handle communication with stakeholders and regulators to resolve environmental issues
- assist with environmental monitoring surveys, including scoping, tendering and commissioning
- assist with feasibility studies of new sites
- perform ad hoc duties for the management, such as taking minutes of meetings and arrange meetings
- assist with the assessment of technical documents and development of programmes.
Your profile
You will hold a Bachelor of Science Degree within environmental science, environmental management, marine science or similar. It will be an advantage if you have a Master's or PhD Degree.
You will have a good understanding of environmental impact assessments and the onshore and offshore planning and licensing system in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, you will have a good understanding of the marine and terrestrial environmental issues and the techniques for performing onshore and offshore environmental surveys.
As we are an international company and cooperate closely with our colleagues, it is important that you have excellent communication skills and are able to write and speak English fluently. It is also important that you have the skills necessary to facilitate communication and cooperation with your colleagues and stakeholders, even in challenging situations.
Furthermore, you will have an analytical and structured approach to your work and the ability to work independently. You will thrive on teamwork and cooperation with other departments in the organisation and be enthusiastic and keen to learn.
