What sets us apart from other organisations is our range of projects, including meeting the planning needs of Europe's most important area of biotechnology research, development and growth, the delivery of two new towns at Northstowe and Waterbeach and nationally significant infrastructure projects in an area surrounding the fastest-growing city economy in the country. We are looking for a Scientific Officer to work alongside other dedicated specialist officers within the Environment Planning Team, which is responsible for matters relating to Air Quality, Contaminated Land and considering the impact (such as noise, vibration, odour and lighting) on the health of both existing and prospective human receptors.
