These projects include wind energy developments, electricity transmission infrastructure, mixed use development and other land development projects.

The candidate would ideally work out of either our Cardiff, Bristol or Edinburgh offices, however applications for all locations will be welcome. You will be encouraged to pursue ongoing professional development and acquire new skills to reach your career goals.
