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

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)
