Environmental Permitting/Industrial
Emissions Specialist – Senior Consultant
to Associate Director
Air Quality Consultants Limited

Role Location

Bristol, London or Warrington. However, as the last two years have shown, it doesn’t really matter where
you work, so we can be flexible on location and working arrangements.

The Company

Logika Group comprises three sister companies of Air Quality Consultants, Noise Consultants and Logika
Consultants. The Group operates from the same offices and works together as a single company, with a
shared culture, values, and high standards of work. There is a single senior leadership team across all three
companies, and together the Logika Group is made up of more than 70 environmental experts based in the
UK and continental Europe.

We provide clients with a wide range of high quality and complementary environmental consultancy
services including:

• Air Quality, Carbon and Climate Change;

• Acoustics, Noise and Vibration;
• Natural Environment (Biodiversity, Flood & Drainage, Landscape Design and Environmental

Strategy);

• Environmental policy development, implementation and evaluation (industrial pollution control, air

quality and emissions, chemicals, climate change, circular economy, waste and water policy); and

• Socioeconomics, GIS, Analytics and Data Science.

We provide our team with the opportunity to progress through investment in training and through working
on interesting projects with a wide range of valued clients who operate in a variety of sectors.

Our environmental permitting function complements the services provided by our Environmental Policy
and Economics Practice and our impact assessment services delivered to industry that focus on air quality,
greenhouse gas assessment, noise and water discharges.

We support our industrial clients to obtain new permits, variations, transfers and surrenders for installation
activities and waste operations in sectors including combustion, waste incineration, waste treatment,
refining, inorganic chemicals and surface treatment, amongst others. Our permitting specialists also
support our Environmental Policy and Economics Practice to deliver projects for development banks,
industry trade associations and the European Commission, including studies that informed the recent
evaluation and proposed revision of the Industrial Emissions Directive and E-PRTR. We have also been
successful in securing a significant study to develop guidance on the use of Continuous Emissions
Monitoring Systems for a Government Agency in South-East Asia.

The Role

Due to the success of our permitting function in securing new and exciting opportunities in the UK and
internationally, we are recruiting at senior level for an experienced individual to take a leading role in the
continued development of our permitting service offering but also to provide technical specialist input on
our industrial emissions policy projects. The specific role will involve:

• Supporting the development of a formal permitting/industrial emissions strategy for the Group.

• Acting as a mentor and supporting the development of junior team members through targeted and

on-the-job training.

• Helping to grow the team with the potential for additional recruitment and staff management

opportunities.

• Leading bids for permitting opportunities and identifying new opportunities through pro-active

business development.

• As Project Manager or Project Director, leading the development of permit applications, variations,

transfers, surrenders; discharge of pre-operational and improvement conditions; and development
of associated studies including management plans, BAT assessments etc.

• Provision of advice to help clients understand their regulatory and legal obligations under the

permitting regimes established in the UK.

• Supporting our clients to manage and demonstrate ongoing compliance with their permit

conditions.

• Technical input and leadership to national and international industrial emissions policy proposals

and projects through our Environmental Policy and Economics Practice.

• Keeping informed of emerging developments and changes in legislation/guidance and

communicating these developments to the wider Group where relevant.

This is an exceptional opportunity at an exciting time for our business but also for industrial emissions and
environmental regulation in general. The team has established positions on a broad range of frameworks
with the European Commission and secured work with a wide range of clients including the UK
Government, the European Commission, international development banks, environmental NGOs, the UN
as well as industry trade associations and individual companies.

With us, you will be involved in the development and implementation of Group strategy and play a key
role in the delivery of our work. You will have opportunities for business development, international travel
and for career progression, working in a friendly, supportive environment.
