Role Purpose

Reporting directly to the Head of Governance, the Environmental & Supply Chain Coordinator will support the day-to-day operation and continual improvement of the environmental management and supply-chain control framework.

The role combines environmental coordination, supplier and subcontractor assurance, purchasing and cost controls, waste and materials management, data analysis, management reporting and support for the company ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS).

This is a graduate / early-career development role.

The postholder is not expected to arrive with full independent ownership experience across every area of the specification.

Mentorship, structured on-the-job coaching and role-specific training will be provided where required.

The expectation is that the successful candidate will build competence quickly and take increasing responsibility as knowledge and confidence develop.

The postholder will also support the company programme to establish an organisational greenhouse-gas inventory and reporting framework aligned with ISO 14064-1, helping the business progress towards consistent, evidence-based and externally verifiable carbon reporting.

Success in the role will depend on curiosity, accuracy, initiative and follow-through.

The postholder should be comfortable working with data, asking questions, investigating discrepancies, maintaining evidence and escalating risks or delays rather than allowing actions to drift.
