Role location: London or Bristol, Brussels will also be an option later next year. However, as 2020 has shown it doesn’t really matter where you work so we can be flexible on location.

The company

Three sister companies - Air Quality Consultants Ltd (AQC), Noise Consultants Ltd and Logika Consultants Ltd – together form the Logika group of Companies. We comprise around 50 environmental experts, with the three companies managed by a single senior leadership team. We see flexibility and collaboration as essential to our continued success and we manage the Group of companies as if a single entity. We provide people with the opportunity to progress and work on interesting projects with a wide range of valued clients who operate in a variety of sectors.

In 2020, we established an Environmental Policy and Economics team that works horizontally across the group. This new part of our business provides high quality policy advice, strategic insight, scientific, policy and economic analysis in a range of environmental policy areas. These include air quality and emissions, chemicals, climate change, circular economy, waste and water policy. We have also established a Brussels based part of the business to grow the company outside of the UK.

Our aim is to be at the forefront of the development and implementation of environmental policy, for international bodies, governments, businesses, and NGOs. Our existing clients include the UK Government, the European Commission, international development banks, environmental NGOs, the UN as well as industry trade associations and companies. We provide technical, scientific, and socio-economic advice, based on objective, impartial and evidence-based analysis.

The role

The team has established positions on a broad range of frameworks with the European Commission and secured work with a wide range of clients. We are busy delivering contracts on air quality and emissions, chemicals, industrial pollution control, waste, water and circular economy policy. We are now looking for two additions to the team, at consultant or senior consultant levels.
