About the Project

Protecting the environment and delivering sustainability are at the heart of everything we do here.
The Role
As a

drive ideas and influence stakeholders
is key.

Promote innovation in sustainable construction methods, materials, and processes
Lead or support investigations into environmental incidents and drive corrective action
Provide environmental training, briefings, and upskilling for project staff
What We're Looking For
Passion for sustainability and environmental best practice
An engaging and confident communicator who can inspire teams, drive ideas forward, and influence stakeholders at every level
Organised, proactive, and able to prioritise in a fast-paced project environment
