Prepares environmental impact assessments required for project clearance. Work is driven by the regulatory approval pipeline.
EIA consultants prepare the environmental impact assessments that projects need for regulatory clearance — baseline studies, impact prediction, and the management plans attached to conditions. Work flows through the approval pipeline, so demand follows project activity rather than growing steadily. Accreditation requirements under the national scheme restrict who can sign reports, which protects experienced practitioners but makes entry slower than in general environmental engineering.
