Working on contaminated sites requires specialist knowledge in order to know how to deal with the land and go about undertaking duties on projects in an at-risk environment.
Waste sites, development land and quarries are just some of the places which require a variety of experts to ensure they are managed properly, efficiently and safely. Employment is often available through independent firms or public sector government facilities like local authorities, Defra and the Environment Agency, and contracts can be permanent or for the length of particular projects.
Remediation work can be found via recruitment agencies on contaminated land which is being developed for housing or commercial locations and opportunities are available both in the UK and emerging countries abroad, such as in the Middle East.
Scientists, engineers, planners, risk-assessors, surveyors, builders, and researchers are just some of the skilled staff sought by recruitment agencies. There is no standard entry qualification for working in this industry because each role has specific and distinct requirements. For example, engineers and scientists will need to be educated to degree and post-graduate level, while some staff members may have competed apprenticeships or on-the-job training.
Britain’s environment sector is growing and so is the demand for experienced personnel, however there is a shortage in necessary skills in the market. The biggest HR challenge for the industry is finding workers with expertise in waste management, remediation and environmental management.
