Employment Type: Contract

Job Summary

• EnvironQuest Nigeria Limited is looking for an exceptional Environmental and Social Specialist to join our consulting and project delivery team.
• This is not an entry-level role. It is designed for a smart, driven, and technically strong professional who wants to work on meaningful environmental, social, ESG, and sustainability projects across industry, infrastructure, energy, and development sectors.
• The ideal candidate is not just someone who can write reports. We are looking for a thinker, problem-solver, field leader, and consultant who can interpret complex environmental and social issues, engage stakeholders, manage project deliverables, and produce work that clients and regulators can rely on.

About the Role

• As an Environmental and Social Specialist, you will support and lead assignments involving environmental and social impact assessment, ESG advisory, regulatory compliance, environmental monitoring, sustainability reporting, stakeholder engagement, and project implementation support.
• You will work across field studies, data analysis, client advisory, regulatory documentation, and technical reporting, with the opportunity to contribute to high-impact projects and grow into a leadership role within the firm.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support Environmental and Social Impact Assessments, Environmental Management Plans, audits, compliance studies, and related technical reports.
• Coordinate field-based environmental and social surveys, including air, water, soil, noise, biodiversity, socio-economic, and stakeholder-related studies.
• Interpret environmental and social data and translate findings into practical recommendations.
• Support ESG assessments, sustainability reporting, gap analysis, and client advisory assignments.
• Ensure alignment with Nigerian regulatory requirements, including FMEnv, NESREA, NUPRC, State Environmental Agencies, and other applicable authorities.
• Apply relevant international standards and frameworks, including IFC Performance Standards, World Bank EHS Guidelines, Equator Principles, and recognized ESG/sustainability reporting frameworks.
• Manage project timelines, field teams, consultants, data, documentation, and client deliverables.
• Support permitting, stakeholder engagement, regulatory liaison, and project close-out documentation.
• Prepare clear, defensible, and client-ready technical reports.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Management, Environmental Engineering, Geography, Chemistry, Sustainability, or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years’ relevant experience in environmental consulting, ESG, E&S risk management, field studies, regulatory compliance, or sustainability projects.
• Strong understanding of environmental and social assessment processes.
• Practical experience with fieldwork, environmental monitoring, stakeholder engagement, and technical reporting.
• Familiarity with Nigerian environmental regulations and international E&S/ESG standards.
• Ability to write excellent technical reports with minimal supervision.
• Strong project coordination, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• GIS/GPS, data analysis, environmental monitoring, or laboratory exposure will be an advantage.

Why Join EnvironQuest?

• This role offers the opportunity to work on serious, technically demanding projects that require judgment, creativity, and professional depth.
• You will join a growing consulting firm where strong performers can take ownership, influence project direction, engage with clients, and contribute directly to the development of practical environmental and sustainability solutions.
• We are looking for someone who wants more than a job title — someone who wants to build expertise, lead meaningful assignments, and grow with a company positioned for serious impact.
