- Driving Continuous Improvement – Leading improvement programmes, analysing data, and ensuring lessons learned are shared and embedded.
- Building Strong Stakeholder Relationships – Working closely with site leadership, customers, regulators, and internal teams to influence, advise and problem‑solve.
Who They’re Looking For:
- An Experienced Environmental Practitioner – With well-developed ISO 14001 knowledge and ideally chartership (or working towards it).
- A Confident, Self‑Driven Professional – Comfortable working independently on site while staying well‑connected to a supportive national team.
- A Skilled Assessor & Influencer – Able to challenge, advise and guide stakeholders at all levels with clarity and tact.
- A Solutions‑Focused Thinker – Analytical, logical, and able to quickly evaluate situations to deliver workable, high‑quality outcomes.
- An Environmental Advocate – Passionate about sustainability, with experience in areas like ecology, conservation, or environmental impact (desirable, not essential).
