Our continued growth requires new staff to support our air quality consultancy team in our Brighton office. We will consider all levels of experience, with our minimum requirement usually being two years previous full-time employment in a dispersion modelling role.
We are currently on the lookout for someone who fits this minimum requirement.
Our bread-and-butter project work includes predictive modelling for industrial, infra-structure, commercial and residential developments using ADMS, Aermod, Screen, ADMS Roads, Breeze Roads and the DMRB/IANs/WebTAG.
We also regularly provide odour assessment and air quality monitoring services for indoor environments, restaurants, occupational exposure reporting, and nuisance impacts from wastewater treatment works and contaminated land remediation projects.
The bulk of our work is UK-based but we do undertake some work overseas – mainly the Middle East and Africa. Good communication with clients on the phone and in person is essential, as is the ability to handle large amounts of numerical data and to write clear and concise technical reports in excellent English.
For more senior positions we would expect a proven track record in developing new business and in effectively managing client relationships.
Although we may not be currently advertising for other new positions, if you are a bright, suitably qualified and experienced individual who shares our values and you believe that you can add to our service provision, please do get in touch as we’d be very happy to hear from you.
