What do you look for in job seekers?
Maturity, personality, intelligence, at least some work experience, relevance of degree or other training.

What is your advice for job seekers?
Make sure you take an ethical approach to your work, and do not get involved in work you do not agree with. Be prepared to work with groups not commonly associated with environmental management, such as construction companies and developers. Make sure you are ethically OK with what you choose. Consulting is not for everyone with a deep green view. Work with an authority, NGO or perhaps university would be better in that case.
