As a technical lead for natural capital, the role would encompass defining the strategy for engagement for natural capital, biodiversity and net gain, working with clients and heads of division / project directors to influence delivery of projects. In addition, keeping abreast of the rapidly developing natural capital industry and educating staff and partners internally and externally on relevant developments, delivered both informally and via workshops would form part of the role.

Regarded as a highly important position in an organisation where the environmental division carries a huge kudos, this would be a key role in helping our client to transition effectively at an interesting time in their growth.
