- Supporting training and knowledge sharing with junior staff, and working with other Sweco Teams to integrate carbon processes within their disciplines.

**To be successful in this role, you will have**:

- Experience delivering carbon management services for a range of project types across the built environment
- Experience supporting businesses to embed carbon / climate strategies within their organisations.
