About Lucion

Lucion is a purpose-driven, technology-led environmental services consultancy. We deliver technical, regulatory, and risk management solutions to help clients in construction, infrastructure, energy, and other sectors navigate environmental challenges confidently and sustainably.

Our Geo-Environmental Division supports clients with ground investigations, contaminated land assessments, and risk mitigation advice. We are UKAS-accredited and members of AGS, committed to providing robust, practical, and client-focused consultancy services.

The Role

We are seeking a Principal Consultant to join our growing Geo-Environmental team in London. This is a leadership role that combines project delivery, team management, and technical input across a range of ground-related risk and remediation projects.

You will oversee projects from initial proposal through to reporting, and be responsible for mentoring and managing junior staff. We’re particularly interested in candidates who bring a technical specialism (e.g. geotechnical analysis, earthworks specification, waste classification, or detailed quantitative risk assessment) alongside strong project and client management skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, scope, and deliver Phase 1 and Phase 2 investigations, including fieldwork oversight
• Prepare high-quality interpretative reports and recommendations
• Manage client relationships and contribute to business development
• Monitor project budgets, resourcing, and timelines
• Ensure compliance with Lucion’s quality and health & safety procedures
• Contribute to technical development and innovation within the wider division
  
  

• A degree (or higher) in Geology, Environmental Science, Earth Sciences, or a related subject
• Significant consultancy experience, with a strong understanding of UK land contamination and planning regimes
• Demonstrable experience of managing projects, people, and client relationships
• A technical specialism or advanced expertise in a key area (e.g. DQRA, geotech analysis, materials management, waste soils)
• Proven ability to write clear, accurate, and commercially sound technical reports
• Effective communicator and confident collaborator
• Chartered (or working towards chartership) with a relevant body (e.g. CIWEM, IES, GeolSoc)
• Full UK driving licence
  
  

• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (plus Christmas shutdown)
• Hybrid and flexible working options
• Healthcare cashback plan
• Life assurance and enhanced family policies
• Access to our ‘Being Lucion’ wellbeing and recognition platform
• Support with professional development and chartership
