Envionment And Sustaibility Advisor in London, Greater London

Your next move could take you somewhere entirely new. Into the energy sector, into an international operational environment and into a newly created role where your work will genuinely make a difference.

We are recruiting an Environmental and Sustainability Advisor for an established organisation operating complex, highly regulated infrastructure within the energy sector. You do NOT need to have worked in this space before. In fact, the hiring team is keen to hear from strong environmental professionals who can bring transferable skills, fresh ideas and the appetite to learn a different industry.

• A brand-new appointment. Help shape a developing environmental remit and have a visible impact from the outset.
• A sector move without starting over. Apply the environmental compliance, technical and analytical skills you already have in an exciting new setting.
• Real variety. Combine regulatory compliance, environmental systems, operational support, emissions/data analysis and sustainability reporting.
• A small, collaborative environment with the backing and reach of an international group. Work closely with an experienced environmental leader while taking ownership of your own work.
• An international dimension. Occasional trips to European operational locations, alongside planned UK site visits.
• A package that rewards the whole contribution, including a 12% employer pension with no compulsory employee contribution and a discretionary annual bonus of up to 20%.

For the successful Environmental and Sustainability Advisor, the package includes:

• Salary: £45,000–£55,000
• Pension: 12% employer pension contribution
• Discretionary Bonus: up to 20%
• Annual Leave: 25 days + bank holidays,
• Insurances: private medical and dental insurance, life assurance and income protection.

As Environmental and Sustainability Advisor, you will help operational and technical teams understand and manage environmental obligations. You will support regulatory compliance and environmental management systems, assess operational risks, contribute to permit and audit work and use data to inform environmental performance.

There is particular scope to build knowledge in emissions monitoring, evolving UK and European regulation and wider sustainability reporting. This is a role for someone who enjoys both understanding the detail and turning it into practical action.

• A relevant environmental or other STEM degree.
• Experience in environmental compliance, environmental management or a closely related discipline.
• Strong numerical skills, confidence with Excel and the ability to analyse and explain technical data.
• An understanding of environmental legislation, operational risk and the importance of robust reporting.
• A proactive, collaborative approach and the confidence to work independently.

You might currently work in infrastructure, utilities, manufacturing, construction, renewables, chemicals, energy or another sector entirely. Experience in a regulated or high-hazard setting would be useful, but it is not essential. We care more about your ability, judgement, potential and motivation.

If you are an Environmental and Sustainability Advisor looking to broaden your horizons, or an environmental professional ready to make the move into complex energy infrastructure, we would love to hear from you. Apply or contact Principal People for a confidential discussion.
