Our Values
This role is highly important in ensuring the business continues to thrive and grow, always with a view to our passionate aspiration of supporting the world’s transition to net zero. As with any role in the business, there will be a requirement for adaptability and flexibility, with an emphasis on our core values:

The team currently comprises sixteen consultants, operating in sub-teams focused on delivery of differing services in conjunction with the wider Advisory team and Environmental Planning colleagues.

Our Carbon Reporting and ESG teams are closely aligned and support a similar client base in quantification, strategy, benchmarking and disclosure projects.

Due to staffing changes and internal restructuring, we are seeking an experienced consultant to join the Sustainable Business team who can provide technical leadership in Carbon Reporting and ESG services, and can take operational leadership (or develop into the role) of the wider Sustainable Business service line. It is anticipated that the team will continue to grow organically.

- Oversight of implementation of Company systems within team, including quality, environmental and health and safety systems adherence by team members
- Overview of team workload and resource requirements to ensure both an efficient team and the ability to deliver against client and project commitments.
- Business development with existing and new clients, identification of new opportunities and drafting of technical and financial proposals.
- Line management, mentoring and development of more junior consultants. It is expected you will directly manage a team of ~6.5 FTE.
- Coordination and engagement with experienced sub-team leads to ensure continued efficient operation of the team.
- Developing and coordinating Business Plan with sub-teams. Managing implementation of plan.
- Tracking of operational performance of team against Business Plan KPI’s. Identifying and management of required interventions or changes to plan. Monthly reporting.
- Supporting cross-service working and development of larger scale business development activity and/or proposals.

Whilst your role will principally be supporting on Sustainable Business-related projects, you may be asked to input and participate on other projects and initiatives, where required and appropriate. We will also endeavour to provide you with exposure to and training/work shadowing in as diverse a cross-section of the business as possible, dependent on workloads and client requirements.

Person Specification
- A first degree (or equivalent) in a numerate or aligned discipline, followed by a post-graduate sustainability or environmental qualification (or equivalent experience).
- Extensive experience of environmental consultancy environment, preferably including both large and medium scale consultancy.
