· Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.

· Strong written and verbal communication skills.

· Excellent attention to detail and a practical, problem-solving approach.

Why work for us?

This is an opportunity to join a growing consultancy where your contribution will have a genuine impact.

You'll be working alongside people who are passionate about the environment and committed to delivering high-quality work for our clients. As Business Support Manager, you'll have a central role in supporting that work — helping our teams operate effectively and contributing to the continued development of the business.

If you're looking for a varied role where no two days are quite the same, where you can take ownership and make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
