Eunomia Research & Consulting is an independent environmental consultancy working primarily in the fields of waste management, resource efficiency, low carbon energy, marine planning and climate change mitigation. We employ around 70 members of staff and have offices in Bristol, London, Manchester, Brussels, Copenhagen, New York and Auckland. From these offices, we work throughout the UK, across EU Member States and beyond.

We are at the leading edge of a number of areas of environmental policy which are important in the eyes of governments, and we aim to be influential in the public policy sphere, working with both public and private sector clients.

Job description:

Senior Project Managers will manage a range of high profile consultancy projects related to environmental policy and strategy, generally in the areas of waste / resource management, natural environment, and terrestrial and marine litter. You will manage multiple projects at a given time, ensuring delivery of high-quality products within budget, whilst also providing a supportive environment for Eunomia’s policy team.

In a typical week, you will be expected to manage competing priorities between yours and others’ projects as timescales inevitably shift and resources are required to be moved between projects within the business. You will need to report on project progress, including financial tracking of projects, and communicate with both clients and your project teams to ensure that the project stays on track.

Your work is expected to include:

Management of multiple projects at any one time;

Internal management and coordination of project teams to include:

Ensuring timely technical project input is received from technical leads;

Liaison with Project Director on strategic project issues; and

Assignment of responsibilities;

Monitoring deadlines/deliverables;

Project team and client communications including updates on project progress;

Creating and delivering project work plans and revising as appropriate to meet changing needs and requirements;

Coordination and delivery of tasks in order to meet the required outcomes of the project;

Ensuring project documents are complete, current, and appropriately stored;

Regular financial project reporting including analysing variation from project budget and initiating corrective actions;

Setting up and maintaining risk registers, change logs, issue registers;

Report writing and presentation of results, alongside technical staff;

Developing bids for new projects; and

Line management of consultancy staff.

Reports to:

Project Director / Chairman

Person specification:

We are looking for one or more experienced project managers with a track-record of at least three years’ experience managing multiple projects and project teams simultaneously. Experience of environmental policy projects is not essential: more important is experience of project management in relation to professional services, with the ability to manage teams of technical staff to ensure timely delivery of quality.

The role is well suited to a creative problem solver and a good communicator: you need to have the aptitude to see where the underlying problems lie, and the internal and client communication skills to be able to articulate these insights and to take actions as required, even where the client, or members of the project team, may have a slightly different analysis.

You will most likely be an organised, efficient and ambitious self-starter, with a desire to help us capitalise on our reputation, our contacts, and our expertise to help us build our expanding business. Applicants who also demonstrate a good level of commercial awareness and an aptitude for business development are particularly welcomed.

Candidates should reflect our values and commitment to quality and are expected to be self-disciplined, well organised and to be able to present themselves in a professional manner. A personal interest in, and commitment to, environmental issues is expected.

Essential:

At least three years managing complex projects, clearly indicating strong project management skills, in consultancy or similar professional services;

The ability to manage multiple clients, stakeholders and projects simultaneously;

Experience in line managing people;

Excellent organisational and communication skills;

The ability to support key staff in managing their own input into projects;

Ability to think critically and strategically;

Strong report writing expertise and excellent written English;

A high level of commercial awareness;

Strong IT skills, including use of Microsoft Office software;

Willingness to ‘muck-in’ and carry out a range of tasks as required; and

A commitment to the environmental and public service principles which drive Eunomia.

Desirable

Experience in formulating proposals for consultancy projects and for bidding for similar projects;

A project management qualification or accreditation (e.g. PRINCE2 or MSP, APM membership); and

Business development and networking skills.

Remuneration

£30,000 to £45,000, depending on experience and credentials

Benefits

Death in Service scheme;

Private Healthcare;

Group Pension;

Income Protection Scheme (after completion of probationary period)

Holiday Entitlement

24 days per year (plus Bank Holidays) rising by 1 day each year to a maximum of 30 days per year.
