WHO THIS IS FOR


Your experience has progressed. Your profile may not have progressed with it.

This service is for environmental professionals, generally with three or more years of sector experience, who are seeking progression, a career pivot or stronger positioning.

It is most useful when the CV and LinkedIn profile no longer reflect the level, scope or technical direction of the work currently being delivered.

Seniority reads too low

Responsibility, ownership and project contribution are described in language that understates the actual level of delivery.

The specialism is unclear

Broad experience is present, but the profile does not establish a clear technical identity or professional direction.

Delivery evidence is hidden

Strong project, client, regulatory or commercial evidence is buried inside passive descriptions and chronology.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE


A full diagnosis of how your professional profile currently reads.

The Profile Audit assesses the CV and LinkedIn profile together. It identifies where technical evidence, seniority or professional direction is not reading clearly, then puts the required changes in order.

It is diagnosis only. It does not rewrite either document.

1. CV review

A section-by-section assessment of structure, evidence, emphasis and employer readability.

2. LinkedIn review

An assessment of the headline, About section, experience positioning and alignment with the CV.

3. Technical identity

A diagnosis of whether the profile establishes a credible specialism and professional direction.

4. Seniority alignment

An assessment of whether ownership, responsibility and delivery evidence reflect the level of work actually performed.

5. Commercial readability

Review of how clearly the profile communicates relevance to employers, clients and project delivery contexts.

6. Priority action plan

A sequenced list of the most important changes required.

WHAT THE AUDIT EXAMINES


The issue is rarely experience alone.

Technical positioning

Is the professional identity specific enough to be remembered and matched to the intended route?

Delivery and seniority

Does the evidence show ownership, judgement and consequence, or only participation in the work?

Profile coherence

Do the CV and LinkedIn profile present the same specialism, level and direction?

The profile was communicating less than the career contained.

A RECENT CLIENT EXAMPLE


Trying to position my UK environmental experience for the Australian market felt genuinely daunting, and I wasn’t sure how best to present my background to employers on the other side of the world.

The work you’ve done through Shearwater has given me a huge amount of clarity and completely changed how I present myself professionally.
— Environmental Adviser and Contaminated Land Specialist; Professional Positioning Package client

The review identified that the discipline was not established clearly enough, major incident evidence was absent and the profile communicated a lower level of responsibility than the client’s experience supported.

Diagnose the positioning problem first. Add implementation only if you need it.

The Professional Profile Audit is a standalone diagnosis.

If you move into implementation within 14 days, the full £299 is credited towards the appropriate professional service.
