We love people who know their own potential and are not afraid to use it. We know that together, we’re far more than the sum of our parts. So, we celebrate people who want to grow and develop as we work together on some of the largest projects on the energy world stage.

Our purpose and beliefs

We’re tackling the greatest challenge of our time - to bring our world the energy it needs in the most responsible way ever imagined.

Its the energy of every member of our team driven by our beliefs that is making this happen. Whatever our skill, our language, or our culture. These beliefs define and direct us every day to be the very best - for ourselves, our clients, our key stakeholders, the communities we operate in and the planet:

We PLAY BIG

We thrive on EMOTIONAL AGILITY

We are FANATICAL ABOUT PERFORMANCE

We are built on INFINITE THINKING

 

Our vision for Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging: 

We recognize that diversity & inclusion are catalysts for success. We’re heightening awareness on the benefits of people diversity, diversity of experiences and diversity of our perspectives. Creating a culture of inclusivity where all employees feel a sense of belonging.  

Our combined energy is fueled by different nationalities, across 6 continents and 24 countries. Our commitment is to celebrate character – no matter what ethnic background, gender, age, religion, identity, or disability.  

About the job: 

We are looking for a Chief Environmental Engineer to form the core of a newly created environmental team. You will work primarily on supporting onshore projects through their complex planning and consenting process, and offshore projects as required supporting clients across the UK, providing environmental engineering expertise.

 

Our UK Consulting team provides engineering services from initial advice through all of the project lifecycle stages to execution and operational support and decommissioning across three main markets in oil and gas, offshore wind and low carbon including hydrogen production, carbon capture and storage and waste to value projects. The UK energy market faces an unprecedented rate of change, as our clients aim to deliver energy security in tandem with decarbonising the system: consequently, our multi-disciplinary teams are extremely busy.

 

Many of the projects, particularly new onshore assets, and offshore wind projects, and their electrical and gas grid connections, face significant planning and consenting hurdles, and we believe the time is right to create an environmental team to meet this challenge and support our clients.

 

Initially, the role holder will act as an intelligent buyerfor environmental services, procuring and managing a small portfolio of sub-contract partners, however the short-medium term vision is to deliver most of the services internally with a small team of specialists in planning, consenting and environmental management with only niche services being subcontracted either to our existing partners or contractors. The role holder will also be involved with recruiting the internal team with the support of our HR team.

Are you ready to take up a vital role in shaping some of our exciting projects? How about joining our talented team, where everyone has a voice, and together we face our clients' problems head-on. It's a diverse and inclusive work environment where world-class talent knows no distinctions.

 

Your responsibilities:  

  • To represent the company environmental strategy and capability to clients, where needed.
  • Bidding and delivering environmental scopes, either as standalone scopes or as part of wider engineering projects primarily in the UK.
  • Interacting with clients to deliver scopes in line with client expectations and our own budget commitments.
  • Managing Kent’s sub-contract supply chain for environmental engineering – with support from our commercial specialists.
  • Define, build and manage internal environmental team to meet our project requirements.
  • Support the development of our environmental reputation through external engagement and social media with suitable thought-leadership materials.
  • To coordinate and knowledge share with existing environmental capability in the company e.g. the team based in Saudi Arabia.
  • Maintain the highest levels of safety and integrity performance in line with company values.

 

Your knowledge/skills, education, and experience: 

  • Degree in a relevant science, engineering, or environmental subject
  • Chartered Engineer status is expected.
  • Knowledge of UK environmental legislation and standards and aware of overseas regimes where necessary to support the company.
  • Extensive environmental experience on energy projects in the UK.
  • Able to work to tight deadlines.
  • Excellent written skills and attention to detail
  • Excellent coordination, monitoring, and supervisory skills.
  • Pro-active approach
  • Team player

 

Details about the role: 

Location: UK wide occasional attendance at the company offices will be required.

Contract type: Permanent

Experience level: Significant in line with the Chief Engineer grading.
