Role Purpose

Our clients Net Zero Plan puts them on a pathway to decarbonise their airport and the wider aviation sector too. Whilst they are prioritise taking the carbon out of flying, it is important to begin adapting to the effects of climate change that are locked into the climate system to maintain operational resilience and ensure we can continue to provide a good service to passengers and maintain the connectivity to global destinations as the UK's only hub airport. Like other operators of critical national infrastructure, we have been on a journey to understand the effects of a changing climate and how those effects will impact the airport and the business strategy. They are building on that progress by developing a long-term strategic approach to adaptation, guided by the latest climate modelling projections and their climate risk assessment.

The Climate Adaptation Strategy Manager role is a key post for the business that will work cross-functionally to continue to shape and mature our strategy and approach to climate adaptation and accelerate the transition to action. The role will act as a key strategic SME for the business, owning and shaping the strategy, leading and sponsoring the case for investment, planning the activity necessary to deliver adaptation on the ground and providing the technical content to communicate our adaptation agenda, through reporting, internal and external communications and by representing at key external meetings.

  • Identify key investments and help to develop business cases to deliver the climate adaptation strategy. This includes supporting the climate adaptation investment planning as part of our 5-yearly regulatory settlement planning process.
  • Work closely with key business functions - particularly Master planning, Procurement, Engineering, Infrastructure, Operations, Commercial and Finance - to plan, shape, drive and support an overall plan of activity necessary to deliver the adaptation strategy.
  • Own and maintain the overall climate adaptation risk assessment and lead the Adaptation Reporting Power (ARP) process and engagement including compiling the submissions to DEFRA
  • Lead the approach to embedding and strengthening climate 'physical risk' across corporate risk assessment processes, working with the risk management team and individual functions and managing inputs into risk reporting. Support our annual Climate Financial Risk Disclosure and shape and contribute the climate physical risk content in the disclosure
  • Provide climate adaptation input information for corporate reporting as necessary and support governance meetings as required.
  • Represent us on Climate Adaptation with key external stakeholder including Government, industry and local authorities, to understand their priorities and advocate solutions.
