Sustainability Specialist

Overview

Embed energy, carbon, water, waste and ESG targets into the design basis of a greenfield plant and track them through to handover, making sustainability a design criterion rather than an end-of-project compliance exercise.

What you'll do

• Embed sustainability and ESG requirements into engineering design, integrating relevant targets into the design basis and URS.
• Drive energy and carbon management, identifying opportunities to minimize operational energy use, emissions and embodied carbon.
• Lead water and wastewater stewardship, optimizing consumption and reuse while considering discharge-quality requirements.
• Promote materials efficiency, waste reduction and circularity, including low-carbon material choices and reduction of construction waste.
• Support environmental compliance and governance, including permits, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), ESG reporting and relevant regulatory obligations.
• Track and communicate sustainability performance through monthly KPI reporting to the Engineering Management team alongside cost and schedule.
• Collaborate across engineering disciplines and with design contractors, HSE, permitting, utilities and operations.
• Bring sustainability considerations into design reviews and engineering decisions.

What you'll need

• A degree in environmental, chemical, energy or process engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in sustainability or environmental engineering within capital projects.
• Practical knowledge of energy and carbon modelling, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and water-balance methods.
• Familiarity with Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), environmental permitting and ESG reporting frameworks, including the GHG Protocol and CSRD.
• Ability to translate sustainability targets into practical engineering requirements and decisions.
• Strong collaboration and stakeholder-management skills, with the confidence to represent sustainability requirements in multidisciplinary design reviews.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting sustainability within greenfield industrial or manufacturing projects.
• Exposure to sustainability requirements across project design, construction and handover.
• Experience working across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• An interest in circularity, resource efficiency and integrating sustainability considerations into engineering design.
