• Supporting wider ESG and sustainability reporting and initiatives

This is a permanent contract, based in our Poole office, Basingstoke office or flexible, working 4 days per week.

• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to translate data into business insight
• Strong stakeholder management skills and confidence working across multiple functions
• Experience supporting environmental compliance and regulatory reporting requirements
• Advanced Excel skills and experience using data analysis or visualisation tools
• Strong project management and organisational capability
• A degree in environmental science, sustainability, engineering, data analytics or a related discipline, or equivalent experience
