(Smart work. Brilliant people. Managers who actually manage.)
Please note-This role is hybrid, you are required in an office twice a month. We can be flexible in terms of where you are located.
Save the planet (or at least help it significantly)...
...with a company that genuinely cares, knows its stuff, and doesn't confuse sustainability with buzzwords and beige PowerPoint.
At Lucion, sustainability is practical, evidence-led, and delivered by people who are both very good at their jobs and nice to work with. We're growing our sustainability capability and are looking for a Sustainability Manager who can lead from the front -- confidently, competently, and with a sense of humour intact.
What You'll Be Doing (No Two Days the Same)
You'll be trusted with real responsibility and interesting work -- not micromanaged or buried under unnecessary process.
You'll:
Lead ESOS compliance projects like a pro -- audits, reporting, client advice, the whole package
Get hands-on with energy audits and turn data into insights clients can actually use
Act as (or support) an ESOS Lead Assessor (yes, the serious bit)
Deliver sustainability consultancy services including carbon footprinting and decarbonisation strategies
Produce Energy & Sustainability Statements that planners and clients don't secretly dread reading
Support SECR, ISO 50001, and broader ESG requirements
Manage projects smoothly, communicate clearly, and produce reports you're proud to put your name on
Play an active role in Lucion's own sustainability and ESG journey -- we practise what we preach
In short: proper sustainability work, delivered properly.
About You (Confident, Curious, Knows Their Stuff)
You're comfortable being the person in the room who actually understands ESOS, carbon, and energy -- and you can explain it without making eyes glaze over.
You probably:
Have solid experience in environmental or sustainability consultancy
Know ESOS inside out (or close enough that people come to you with questions)
Understand UK energy and carbon regulations without needing to Google them
Enjoy analysing data and turning it into clear, sensible recommendations
Can talk confidently with clients, planners, and colleagues alike
Have experience developing Net Zero and decarbonisation strategies
Care about quality, accuracy, and doing things the right way
You're professional, switched on, and not afraid to have an opinion -- backed up by evidence.
Bonus Points If You Also Have...
(Not essential, but we'll definitely smile if you do.)
ESOS Lead Assessor qualification
Carbon accounting and net zero delivery experience
BREEAM assessment experience
Strong LCA skills, ideally using One Click LCA
The Formal Stuff
Degree in sustainability, energy, environmental science, or similar
Professional membership (IEMA, EI, or similar) -- desirable
The Benefits (Yes, They're Genuinely Good)
We don't just talk about looking after people -- we actually do it. You can expect some of the best benefits in the industry, including:
Techscheme - vouchers towards commuting costs or home tech (because life isn't just work)
Healthcare Cash Plan - support with everyday healthcare expenses
Enhanced family leave - when life needs to come first
