  • Experience supporting sustainability, environmental or compliance‑related work, within project delivery, tendering, construction, utilities, energy or infrastructure.
  • A good understanding of sustainability documentation, KPI tracking, reporting packs and audit evidence preparation.
  • Good coordination skills and the ability to work effectively with cross‑functional stakeholders across operational and technical teams.
  • Effective organization, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple actions and deadlines consistently.
  • A relevant degree in sustainability, environmental science, engineering, project management or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
