Environmental Manager / Advisor (Contract)
Location: West Yorkshire (Site-Based)
Day Rate: £350- £400
Contract Length: 3–6 Month (Potential Extension)
Start: Mid–Late May
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:
- Managing environmental permits and ensuring site compliance
- Handling day-to-day environmental issues on-site
- Supporting reactive and emergency environmental incidents
- Completing periodic reporting (e.g. Quarterly returns)
- Investigating complaints (e.g. Dust, local impact) and driving resolution
- Providing environmental advice to operational teams
- Ensuring issues are resolved quickly to minimise risk

- 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

This role would suit an Environmental Advisor or Manager with a strong delivery mindset, particularly those with contractor experience.
