The Opportunity:

We are pleased to present an exciting opportunity for a Sustainability and Waste Reduction Consultant to join our Operations team. This role is pivotal in addressing environmental challenges and assisting community members and local enterprises in reducing waste, enhancing recycling efforts, and leveraging opportunities within the circular economy.

The Role:

With the evolving landscape of waste management regulations and policies, this is an opportune moment to become part of the Waste Reduction & Sustainability team. Your contributions will be essential in implementing these changes in the forthcoming years.

Flexibility in your working hours is necessary, as you may need to start as early as 6:30 AM to coordinate with waste collection teams. Occasional evening and weekend work may also be necessary to attend meetings and community events. A valid driving license and access to a vehicle for work purposes are essential.

In return, we offer our Sustainability and Waste Reduction Consultant a range of benefits, including:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Complimentary parking
  • Participation in the local government pension scheme
  • Opportunities for professional development
  • Discounts at local businesses
