We are working with a well-established civil engineering contractor who is looking to appoint an Environmental, Quality & Sustainability professional to join their growing team. This is a newly shaped role, working closely with an experienced Company Q&E Manager, with real scope to take ownership of key systems, reporting, and compliance activity across the business.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to develop within a broader sustainability and compliance function, gaining hands-on exposure across environmental management, quality systems, carbon reporting, energy management, and wider sustainability initiatives. The role is primarily office-based, with occasional travel to sites across Scotland and the UK.

Support and coordinate internal and external audit activity across the business
Maintain compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 standards
Get involved in carbon and energy measurement, reporting, and sustainability performance tracking
Contribute to sustainability content for bids, tenders, and prequalification submissions
Support social value initiatives and wider sustainability reporting
Help ensure environmental compliance, including waste management and authorisations
Work closely with regulators, clients, subcontractors, and internal teams
Support training, awareness, and continuous improvement across EQS processes
Play a key role in developing and improving systems and procedures
What we’re looking for:
Experience in construction, civil engineering, or infrastructure (preferred)
Knowledge of ISO 9001 and/or ISO 14001 systems
Exposure to ISO 50001 or energy management is an advantage
Experience supporting or delivering audits (internal or external)
Strong analytical skills with confidence in KPI reporting (including carbon/energy data)
Strong Excel and MS Office skills
Excellent written communication and reporting ability
Proactive mindset with the ability to work independently
Genuine interest in sustainability, environment, and continuous improvement
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel and occasionally stay away
This is a great opportunity to step into a varied and evolving role within a business that values compliance, quality, and sustainability. You’ll work closely with senior leadership, gain exposure across multiple disciplines, and have the chance to develop your career in a growing and increasingly important area of the business.
