The Opportunity
An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Environmental Manager / Advisor to support a major, high-performing industrial facility in West Yorkshire.
This is a large-scale, energy-from-waste operation, processing over 700,000 tonnes of material annually and generating significant power output, operating on a 24/7 basis. The site forms part of one of the largest facilities of its kind in the UK, with strong internal expertise and established processes.
The role is hands-on and site-based focused on maintaining environmental compliance and supporting day-to-day operations during a period of absence.
The Role
This is a delivery-focused position, responsible for:

- A practical, hands-on approach to site-based delivery
- Ability to manage reactive issues and stakeholder concerns
- Confidence working in a fast-paced, 24/7 operational environment
- Ability to work independently, with support from a wider environmental team
This role would suit an Environmental Advisor or Manager with a strong delivery mindset, particularly those with contractor experience.
Working Pattern
- Ideally 5 days on-site, flexibility down to 3 days
- Site-based role (not remote)
- Flexibility on which days are worked on-site
What’s on Offer
- Work on a flagship UK industrial facility
- Immediate, high-impact role with real responsibility
