You’ll contribute to report production by providing sound environmental and technical justifications.
You’ll provide sound and clear environmental guidance to projects stakeholders. You’ll implement our Design for the Environment process or the MoD’s POEMS process dependent on the customer requirements, looking for opportunities to minimise and mitigate environmental impacts and risks through design.

The Integrated Combat Systems Product Environmental Team:
Your role will form part of the wider Integrated Combat Systems Product Environmental Team and involves work across several programmes including Astute, Dreadnought, Vanguard and SSN-AUKUS under the supervision of the relevant project environmental lead.
As the Senior Environmental Specialist, you will be working across multiple Submarine Programmes at different stages of their lifecycle between initial concept, through manufacturing to delivery to the customer with opportunities to have a positive impact and influence on the submarine’s design and environmental performance. The roles provide a real opportunity to develop diverse skillsets, within a unique industry and across a range of new & existing high-calibre, high-profile projects.
