Environment & Sustainability Manager

You're working in sustainability as you want to make a difference. You have a desire to create meaningful change - but is your business supporting you to accomplish that?

​

This business, a global engineering and infrastructure organisation, know that their future must be a sustainable one. The team are ready for innovation to take place and are looking for someone like you to be their pioneer.

​

Day to day, you'll be putting your experience and expertise setting realistic and meaningful environmental and sustainability objectives into practice. You'll work closely with both group and project-based leadership teams to instill a positive culture of ownership and accountability of environmental and sustainability matters.

​

You'll be;

​

* A confident and experienced influencer - You'll be the functional Environmental lead on a £150m civil engineering project for a global oil & gas client, responsible for embedding continuous improvement into the project strategy and engaging with the leadership team.
* Organised and happy to be hands-on with the day to day requirements of the role - You'll be working closely with the project team to ensure environmental sustainability is a key factor in the lifecycle of this project, from design through to completion.
* An innovator - You'll thrive on new ideas and challenging traditional methods of working. You'll win the hearts and minds of a variety of stakeholders, both internally and externally, to ensure operational teams take accountability and ownership of environmental and sustainability performance.

In terms of experience;

​

* It's important that you have experience working in the construction sector, ideally on major infrastructure projects. Experience in oil & gas will also be viewed favourably.
* It's vital that you're technically proficient - membership of a professional body such as IEMA is essential for success.
* If you can demonstrate that you're able to build relationships at every level, from building site to boardroom, that will go a long way.
* Some creativity and evidence of collaboratively solving problems in your current sustainability role is welcome.

​

The project is a linear one, running from London to Southampton, so you will ideally be based between the two. That will mean some driving, so a license is essential!

​

In return for your skills and expertise, you'll be met with a salary of up to £60,000 dependent on your experience, a car allowance or company car, and a discretionary bonus. You'll also have some peace of mind. This organisation hasn't been affected by recent events and is pushing ahead with its growth and hiring plans.
