The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and an interest in working with environmental data to support clients in achieving their carbon reduction goals.

Key Responsibilities:

• Data Analysis & Reporting: Collect, process, and analyze energy consumption and carbon emissions data from multiple sources (e.g., building management systems, utility bills, energy meters). Develop reports and dashboards to present insights on energy use, carbon emissions, and other sustainability metrics for clients. Use data analytics tools to identify trends, discrepancies, and opportunities for energy and carbon reductions.
• Carbon Footprint Calculations: Support clients in calculating their carbon footprint based on consumption data and industry-specific factors (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions factors). Assist in the development of carbon reduction strategies and targets using data-driven insights.
• Sustainability Strategy Development: Collaborate with senior consultants to assist in designing and implementing sustainability strategies. Contribute to energy efficiency projects, identifying areas for improvement and cost savings based on data analysis.
