The posting

Position: Sustainability Consultant

Salary: € 1400 - € 1600 Working Hours & Conditions: 9:00am – 5:30pm, UK time; full-time (remote)

Holidays: TBD

ROLE OVERVIEW:

We are seeking a Sustainability Consultant to lead on carbon footprint calculations, produce clear and accurate client-facing reports, and provide actionable recommendations to help firms reduce their environmental impact. This is a client-facing role requiring strong technical, analytical, and communication skills.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Collect, verify, and analyse client activity data (energy use, travel, waste, procurement, etc.) to calculate organisational carbon footprints (Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions)
  • Apply recognised methodologies and standards (e.g. GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, SECR, PAS 2060) to ensure calculations are accurate and defensible
  • Produce clear, well-structured carbon footprint reports suitable for client boards, investors, or regulatory submission
  • Translate technical findings into practical, prioritised recommendations for emissions reduction tailored to each client's sector and operations
  • Support clients with target-setting (e.g. Science Based Targets) and net zero roadmaps
  • Stay current with UK and international sustainability regulations, reporting frameworks, and best practice
  • Liaise directly with clients to gather data, present findings, and answer queries
  • Manage multiple client projects concurrently, meeting agreed deadlines
  • Contribute to internal tools, templates, and calculation methodologies to improve efficiency and consistency

Requirements

  • Proven experience calculating carbon footprints using the GHG Protocol or equivalent methodology
  • Strong Excel/data analysis skills; experience with carbon accounting software (e.g. SINAI, Watershed, Normative, or similar) advantageous
  • Excellent written communication skills, with demonstrable experience producing professional reports
  • Ability to translate complex technical data into clear recommendations for non-technical audiences
  • Strong attention to detail and comfort working with large datasets
  • Good working knowledge of UK sustainability regulation and reporting requirements (e.g. SECR, TCFD, CSRD if working with EU-linked clients)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
