Are you passionate about climate change? We have an exciting opportunity for a Project Manager to play a key role in implementing our Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan.
Managing the delivery of a variety of projects to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our buildings and fleet, you will tackle the challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation, develop the green economy and improve the conservation of natural capital.
Working with colleagues and external partners, you will be joining an organisation that has a track record in delivering green energy and biodiversity projects and will play a key part in building on this to help the Council achieve its environmental targets and achieve our goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030, supporting with actions and projects to tackle Climate Change districtwide.
As our Climate Change Project Manager, you will monitor, collate and analyse data, report on performance against environmental targets and help communicate progress and success on climate change to internal and external stakeholders.
Educated to degree level or equivalent in a project management, data analysis or environmental-related subject, you will have an analytical background with good working knowledge of project management, data management and performance monitoring, partnership networking and an understanding of a range of climate change and environmental sustainability issues.
Good communication skills, both oral and written, are also essential for this role, as you will be required to present complex and sometimes technical information to a wide range of internal and external audiences.
This is a unique and challenging opportunity for the right candidate to make a real difference and play a key part in creating a sustainable future for the District.
