We are looking for a Environmental Advisor to join BMJV on the Lower Thames Crossing – Tunnels and Approaches Project, one of the UK’s most high-profile and transformative infrastructure programmes.

Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects.  LTC is a new road that will connect Kent and Essex through a tunnel beneath the River Thames and will be the greenest road ever built in the UK - creating six times more green space than road. The reliable new route will almost double road capacity over the river east of London to reduce congestion and give millions of people more choice on where they live, work and spend their valuable time.

We have a diverse programme team on LTC that reflects the communities we work in and fosters an inclusive culture by actively supporting the programme's Purpose, Principles and Cultural Pillars and growing employee networks.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in protecting the environment while supporting the delivery of a nationally significant project. The successful candidate will work within the Environment Team, ensuring construction activities are carried out in compliance with environmental legislation, project consents, permits, and client requirements.

• Carrying out environmental inspections, audits, and compliance checks
• Interpreting environmental data and producing detailed reports

• Reviewing risk assessments, management plans, and method statements
• Delivering toolbox talks and environmental briefings to site teams and subcontractors
• Supporting biodiversity protection and ensuring protected species are not disturbed
• Liaising with local authorities and external stakeholders when required

Key competencies required:
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage confidently with site teams and stakeholders
• Excellent attention to detail and a thorough approach to compliance
• Analytical thinking with strong problem-solving ability
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced construction environment
• Proactive mindset with a commitment to continuous improvement
• Strong report writing and data interpretation skills
• Collaborative approach with internal and external stakeholders

• Experience producing environmental reports and compliance documentation
• Competence investigating environmental incidents
• Ability to train others on EMS processes and environmental controls
