Senior Life Cycle Engineer

Remote

At Saint-Gobain, we're committed to making the world a better home', and understanding the environmental impact of our products is central to that mission. As a Senior Life Cycle Engineer, you'll use your expertise in LCA and sustainability data to ensure compliance with voluntary and mandatory product-level LCA reporting (i.e. EPD and CPR-DoPC), influence product development and carbon reduction strategies, and help shape the future of sustainable construction.

From product-level EPDs to high-profile LCA projects (including system-/building- level), collaborating across disciplines with experts within the wider Saint-Gobain team and external partners, you'll be at the forefront of turning complex environmental data into meaningful business decisions and real-world impact.

The role is fully remote. We do at times come together in East Leake, Loughborough, and occasional site visits are necessary.

What we're looking for:

• Hands-on expertise/extensive experience using GaBi (LCA for Experts)
• Experience developing LCAs, EPDs and environmental impact assessments within a manufacturing, construction or industrial setting.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex sustainability data and turn it into actionable insights.
• Proven track record of leading projects and collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders to deliver sustainability outcomes.
• Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to train, influence and act as a subject matter expert on LCA and environmental sustainability.

What you will be doing:

• Lead Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) projects, delivering robust environmental analysis and insights to support product development, sustainability objectives, and business decision-making.
• Analyse and interpret environmental data across products, manufacturing sites, and business units, providing recommendations that drive sustainability performance and carbon reduction initiatives.
• Develop, maintain and enhance LCA models, tools and methodologies, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and alignment with Saint-Gobain's global standards and best practices.
• Partner with cross-functional teams, including Marketing, R&D, Purchasing and Operational stakeholders, to support eco-innovation projects and identify opportunities to improve environmental performance and circularity.
• Act as the subject matter expert for LCA and EPD, delivering training, guidance and technical support to build capability across the business and promote best practice.
• Represent Saint-Gobain internally and externally, collaborating with industry groups, sharing expertise, and contributing to sustainability roadmaps, including CO₂ reduction and circular economy initiatives.
