Job Description

Are you an experienced technical leader ready for your next major career move? Our client-a well-established, high-performing environmental consultancy-is seeking a Technical Director to drive business growth while providing expert oversight of environmental impact assessments (EIA) across hydrology, water resources and peatland management.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned professional who enjoys leading technically complex work, developing teams, and influencing large-scale renewable and infrastructure projects. Strong performance in this role offers a clear pathway to enhanced discretionary bonuses and a future position as a Company Director.

About the Company

Our client is a specialist SME delivering hydrology, water resources and peat management EIA chapters for nationally significant renewable energy and transport infrastructure projects, including onshore wind, solar, hydropower and major transport schemes. You will work closely with the company's Directors in a strategic role central to the continued growth of the business.

Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be chartered with CIWEM, IEMA or ICE, and have a strong track record in assessing the impacts of development on hydrological features, peatland habitats and geomorphology. You will be a confident technical authority, an effective mentor and a proactive business developer capable of shaping your sector of the business.

Key Responsibilities as Technical Director:

Act as Project Executive for major water environment assessments across wind farms, solar farms, hydropower, transport and development projects.
Provide technical leadership, quality assurance, and oversight of project outputs and processes.
Develop in-house technical capability in your specialist areas.

Manage your own workload and that of your team, typically across up to 10 concurrent projects.
Lead projects and bids up to £100k in value.
Develop and deliver a marketing plan to grow your sector, with realistic growth targets linked to bonus incentives.

The role is based in Cardiff, though remote working will be considered for candidates able to bring business development advantages from other locations.
