Your role would include aspects such as liaising with internal Land teams when assessing site feasibility, engaging with external planning consultants, representing this company at public consultation events, as well as contributing to wider project updates and milestones such as budgets, timelines, and progress reporting.

This company has had a great track record of success in recent times, and their projects are well progressed, so as to protect their grid connection dates in the Gate2 process. You would be joining up with a highly collaborative team with a range of backgrounds, and a company on a highly positive upwards trajectory!
