Who we are looking for:

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, able to engage staff and board members.
• Ability to analyze technical and operational data to inform decision-making.
• Degree or equivalent professional experience in engineering, environmental sciences, sustainability, or a related discipline.
Ideally, but not essentially, you’ll also have:

• Experience working within or with public sector organisations.
• Familiarity with statutory climate reporting duties.
• Experience with carbon accounting and environmental performance monitoring.
• Knowledge of climate finance, grants, or funding mechanisms for climate-related projects
