* Champion Biodiversity and Carbon Reduction : Drive initiatives that protect local ecosystems and reduce carbon footprints across water and wastewater sites.
* Empower and Educate : Deliver impactful training and coaching to operational teams, embedding a culture of environmental responsibility at every level.
* Grow Your Own Team : Lay the groundwork for a high-performing environmental team - starting with one direct report and expanding to a team of 3-4 over the next few years as the programme evolves.
Who We're Looking For
* Experienced Environmental Leader : You bring a well-rounded background in environmental management, ideally within infrastructure or utilities, and thrive in complex project environments.
* Strategic and Analytical Thinker : You're comfortable interpreting environmental data and turning insights into practical, high-impact actions.
* Confident Communicator and Collaborator : You build strong relationships with clients, regulators, and internal teams, influencing decisions and driving engagement.
