at Ramboll Management Consulting

🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting stands out as a global leader focused specifically on driving decarbonization and sustainable business models, not just general consulting. Their UK-based landscape team offers a unique opportunity to work on projects that directly translate environmental principles into practical solutions for clients across various sectors. The company's commitment to mentorship for the Landscape Institute Pathway to Chartership makes it particularly attractive for graduates seeking structured professional development in biodiversity and ecosystems.

About This Role

This Graduate Consultant role involves hands-on work on landscape projects with a focus on biodiversity and ecosystems, including conducting research and analysis, creating models and reports using specialized software, and participating in site visits and surveys. You'll contribute directly to design and assessment projects that support Ramboll's mission of decarbonization and sustainable development. The role provides immediate project involvement while receiving structured mentorship toward professional chartership.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning analysis of site data using GIS software, followed by preparing drawings for a biodiversity assessment report. After lunch, you could join a project meeting with engineers and ecologists to coordinate findings, then spend the afternoon conducting research for an upcoming decarbonization project. Some days include site visits for surveys and photography, with regular check-ins with your chartership mentor.
