To enhance our specialist services support, we are looking for a Nature & Climate Advisor to join us. Working on infrastructure projects across the UK and Ireland, you’ll join a small but growing sustainability team supporting the delivery of environmental issues.

Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. COWI will encourage you to avoid being set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.
On top of that, you’ll have:
- A degree in Ecology, Environmental Impact Assessments or a similar topic
- Have experience of working on large infrastructure projects and dealing with clients, regulators and stakeholders
- Knowledge of terrestrial and freshwater UK habitats and the challenges faced in a changing climate

A place to work and so much more.
At COWI, we work together with our customers to shape a sustainable and liveable world. We do it by applying our knowledge and curiosity – and sometimes even our courage – to create the solutions the world needs today to enable a better tomorrow. That is why we say no to fossil-based projects and aspire to have 100 per cent of our revenue come from activities that move our customers towards sustainability. We value differences and development and cultivate an environment of belonging and having fun, because that is what brings out the best in you, at work and at home.
With offices primarily located in Scandinavia, the UK, North America, and India, we are currently 7,300 people who bring their expertise in engineering, architecture, energy, and environment into play.
What we also offer:
To us, a fair reward is more than a competitive salary. We want to take care of our people professionally and personally as well.
Some of our benefits include:
- 28 days' holiday plus all UK bank and public holiday
- Formalised development plans and yearly promotion opportunities
- Private health care, for you and your immediate dependents
- Flexible and hybrid working conditions
- Annual subscription fees paid for your membership of two Professional Institutions Group personal pension scheme – salary exchange
- Life assurance
- Cycle-to-work scheme
- Corporate gym membership
