Job description

When our clients are facing complex climate change issues, they look to us to find a solution. Whether new regulatory requirements, rising stakeholder concerns or opportunities for cost reduction and revenue generation, we provide the answers to the big questions nobody else can.

Regular travel will be required as you will be meeting with key clients, some of those being the most respected in their fields.

To qualify for the role you must have
·  A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Engineering, Environmental Science and 3 to 5 years of relevant experience
·  Strong technical writing skills and advanced risk management knowledge
·  Sustainability experience with environmental footprinting, lifecycle analysis, sustainable supply chain planning and/or carbon market is a plus
·  A deep understanding of the marketplace, as well as commonly used terminology, processes and tools
·  A proven record of excellence when managing, mentoring and improving a team of high-performing colleagues
·  The confidence to research and resolve emerging client issues, including regulations, industry practices and new technologies
Ideally, you’ll also have
·  A master's degree in Accounting, Environmental Science, Engineering, or related discipline
