Our mission is to provide our clients with scientifically based solutions to environmental problems driven by the regulatory sector. In the areas detailed above, we work to obtain permits and consents or discharge conditions relating to them.

Due to expanding workloads, a number of opportunities have arisen within the company for an experienced Graduate to join our multi-functional and Investors in People (IIP) accredited team at our Warrington or Lancaster office.

While full training will be provided throughout the job, experience in using AutoCad would be a distinct advantage. Peak Associates is a friendly and exciting Company who welcomes applications from candidates who are highly motivated, keen to further develop their career and have an enthusiasm for new challenges.
