Job Description
We are seeking a motivated and ambitious environmental focused graduate to join our fast growing environmental due diligence team.

Designed specifically for graduates, this programme provides the support and experience needed to successfully navigate the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) via the ‘Minerals and Waste Management’ pathway.

This role provides an excellent opportunity to develop technical, commercial, and project management skills within a fast-paced consultancy environment and may also present opportunities for international work across Europe.

Sector Exposure: The opportunity to broaden your knowledge across sectors such as real estate, infrastructure, advisory, defence, and energy and natural resources while developing the skills to provide commercial, strategic, and analytical advice to clients.
