Regional Lead – Acoustics / Air Quality / Environmental Consultancy
 Location: Cork, Limerick or Co. Kerry, Ireland
 Salary: €65,000–€85,000 + package

Aztrum is working with a young, ambitious and rapidly expanding environmental consultancy looking to appoint a Regional Lead to develop and grow its presence across the South and South-West of Ireland.

It is an opportunity for an experienced Acoustics, Air Quality or Environmental professional to take ownership of a region, develop new client relationships, win work and play a major role in shaping the future growth of the business.

The successful individual will ideally be based in Cork, Limerick or Co. Kerry and already have a strong network within the Irish consultancy, planning, development or construction market.

For someone who has built a reputation and client base within the industry but wants greater autonomy, responsibility and influence, this could be an excellent next step.

Please note, candidates with a background in EITHER Acoustics, Air Quality or Environmental Consultancy can be considered.  You don’t need to have covered all.

Requirements

We are looking for someone with:

• Strong professional experience within either Acoustics, Air Quality or Environmental consultancy
• A good understanding of the Irish environmental, planning and development market
• Proven business development experience
• A demonstrable track record of winning work and developing client relationships
• An existing professional network across Cork, Limerick, Kerry or the wider region
• The ability to generate and develop new project opportunities
• Strong commercial awareness
• Confidence dealing directly with developers, architects, planning consultants, engineers and other key stakeholders
• Experience managing projects and client relationships
• The ambition to help build and lead a regional consultancy presence
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

Duties

As Regional Lead, you will be responsible for:

• Developing the consultancy's presence across Cork, Limerick, Kerry and surrounding areas
• Identifying and securing new clients and project opportunities
• Bringing existing relationships and opportunities into the business
• Building long-term relationships with developers, planning consultants, architects and multidisciplinary consultancies
• Leading business development activity within the region
• Preparing proposals, fee submissions and tenders
• Managing key client accounts
• Delivering and overseeing projects depending on your technical background
• Supporting the recruitment and development of a regional team as workload grows
• Working closely with the wider leadership team on growth strategy

Why consider the opportunity?

This role offers considerably more scope than a traditional Consultancy position.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Build and lead your own regional presence
• Join a young and expanding consultancy at an exciting stage of its growth
• Have genuine influence over the direction of the business
• Develop a team around you as the region grows
• Work with an ambitious and commercially minded leadership team
• Benefit from significant autonomy over client and business development activity
• Work across a broad range of interesting environmental projects
• Progress into a senior leadership position as the business expands
• Build something with your own identity rather than simply inherit an established portfolio
• Receive a competitive salary and package reflective of the seniority and commercial nature of the role

This opportunity would particularly suit an ambitious Principal, Associate or Director-level consultant who feels they have reached a ceiling within a larger consultancy and wants the freedom to develop a region of their own.

If you already have strong relationships within the Irish market and believe you could help build a successful consultancy presence across Cork, Limerick or Co. Kerry, please apply now or reach out to Charlotte Lavender at Aztrum for more information!
