Our client are looking for a Graduate Sustainability Consultant to join our their London team. This is a rare chance to start your career at the heart of the net-zero transition, working alongside experienced consultants on projects that genuinely move the needle for clients across multiple sectors.

• Gathering, validating and analysing environmental data to uncover insights and track progress
• Helping prepare clear, compelling reports and presentations for clients.
• Researching evolving regulations, frameworks and best practice (e.g. GHG Protocol, SECR, CSRD, TCFD).
• Working directly with clients to understand their challenges and help shape solutions.
• Contributing to a collaborative team where your ideas are heard from day one.

What we're looking for

• A degree (2:1 or above) in a relevant field — environmental science, sustainability, engineering, geography, economics, business or similar. We also welcome strong candidates from other disciplines with a genuine passion for sustainability.
• Excellent analytical skills and confidence working with data and spreadsheets
• Strong written and verbal communication — you can make complex ideas simple
• Curiosity, initiative and a willingness to learn fast in a changing field
• Genuine enthusiasm for sustainability and the transition to a low-carbon economy
• Eligibility to work in the UK

No prior consulting experience required — we'll give you the training, mentoring and support to thrive. What matters most is your attitude, your aptitude and your drive to make a difference.

What you'll get

• £35,000 starting salary with clear progression
• Hybrid working with modern London offices
• Structured training and professional development, with support towards relevant qualifications
• Mentoring from experienced sustainability professionals
• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
• Pension, wellbeing support and a sociable, mission-driven team
• The chance to work on varied projects that make a real environmental impact
