The Role
We're seeking a dynamic and skilled person to join our existing EMEA environmental permitting team based in Dublin.
The role requires experience in managing and delivering environmental permits in EMEA, such as IED permits, EIAs, and environmental inputs to other permits.
Key Responsibilities
* Environmental due diligence: initial environmental risk analysis, site screening, site approvals.
* Regulatory and agency engagement;
* Function as a leader regarding regulatory agency interactions, permit, and planning approval processes.
* Ensure work performed by contractors, consultants, and employees is completed in accordance with Amazon standards.
About the Team
A typical day involves managing multiple site-development projects at various stages of development.
Some projects will be at the due diligence stage, so work would involve reviewing due diligence reports and identifying risks and mitigations needed for site acquisition.
Other projects will be in design and permitting, and work for this involves managing environmental studies and working with consultants to prepare environmental permit applications for regulatory approval.
We work closely with partner teams, including Real Estate, Risk/Due Diligence, Design Engineering, and Legal.
The role is dynamic, and managing multiple projects with minimal manager oversight is a key skill.
Requirements
* Bachelor's Degree in environmental engineering, science, or related field of study.
* Experience with EU permit evaluations and applications, Environmental Impact Assessments, biodiversity integration, water discharge requirements, and waste management.
* Direct experience with successful environmental permitting and environmental assessment in at least one European country.
* Experienced in managing and delivering multiple sites/projects through permitting in Europe at any one point in time.
* Highly autonomous and can work with minimal guidance with excellent organizational and project management skills.
* Experience in a fast-paced, changing/growing organization.
* Strong analytical skills with demonstrated problem-solving ability across multiple jurisdictions.
* Travel estimated at 15-20% in Europe to visit potential sites and sites subject to design and permitting.
