The Consultant would ideally have:

  • A working knowledge of the Scottish planning process, relevant consenting regimes and Environmental Impact Assessment legislation.
  • Demonstrable Project Management skills and experience of how to manage the delivery of consenting and environmental compliance for major projects (e.g., project definition and set up, procurement and management of consultants, cost management, project risk, quality assurance and programme management).
  • Environmental or Planning related degree with experience in a relevant industry (e.g., infrastructure, environmental / planning/ statutory body/ consultancy dealing with major consenting projects). Membership of an appropriate planning or environmental professional body is also desirable.
  • A willingness to contribute, adapt within a busy, fast-moving team, dealing with challenges and opportunities across an extensive workload
