• Strong experience in environment and/or sustainability roles within construction, infrastructure, utilities, civil works, mining or another operational environment.
• Strong foundations in practical environmental management and environmental risk.
• Demonstrated experience supporting or delivering sustainability initiatives or improvement programs.
• Working knowledge of greenhouse gas emissions, resource efficiency, waste/circular economy or other sustainability concepts.
• Strong analytical skills and experience working with environment or sustainability performance data.
• The ability to turn environmental and sustainability objectives into practical actions.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with a practical, solutions-focused approach.
