You will define and introduce environmental sustainability improvements in all areas of the business, set and implement Environmental and Sustainability targets, and work with colleagues to foster a culture of environmental responsibility. Your role will also involve liaising with external contractors, agencies, and local authorities, planning and organising internal environmental audits, and providing training and education on Environmental and Sustainability practices to all departments and EHS representatives.
