We are looking for someone strategic, passionate about the planet and people, and driven to create a better future for the next generation and beyond.

​

Our client, an FTSE-listed global manufacturer and a key supplier in facilitating the global energy transition, is on the hunt for a new Head of ESG & Sustainability to embed sustainability into all parts of the company's operations, building upon the sustainability strategy and evolving it to stand them in good stead for the future.

​

​

You will:

• Embed sustainability into different aspects of the business, ensuring sustainability literacy across the organisation within HSE, Engineering, Procurement, Company Secretary, Strategy, HR and Communications

• Be responsible for external reporting, working closely with investors and ratings agencies to create best-in-class reports

​

You will utilise your expertise to further develop this organisation's strategies, taking them to net zero and engaging their supply chain in sustainable practices.

​

Your experience:

• A self-starter who is proactive and passionate about creating change within an organisation

• You will most likely have experience in a listed company, with exposure to ESG reporting, having embedded and developed sustainability strategies
