Base pay range

The UK government has made a pledge to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and, as such, is pushing ahead with significant investment in nuclear and renewable energies. Assystem, as a leading provider of project management, design & construction supervision services within the nuclear industry, has aligned its own strategy to support this switch to low‑carbon energy, whilst also recognising transport and infrastructure systems to be a major factor in influencing the outcome of government policy. By acquiring Schofield Lothian in 2021, Assystem reaffirmed its commitment to the UK’s energy transition in combining strengths with a long‑established provider of consultancy services to the transport and infrastructure sectors, through the delivery of sustainable performance improvements within four practice areas: Consents & Engagement; Commercial Management; Project Management; and Environment & Sustainability.
