What you will be doing:

1. Managing and mentoring the Environment team, fostering a culture of accountability, growth, and purpose.
2. Leading the delivery of regional environmental strategies, driving measurable progress across key sustainability themes.
3. Owning environmental incident investigations, reporting, and learnings across projects.
4. Maintaining and evolving Environmental Management System (EMS) documentation in line with operational and business needs.
5. Overseeing accurate and timely environmental data reporting, helping translate insights into action.

What we are looking for:

1. Proven experience in leading environmental compliance across multiple sites or complex projects.
2. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to represent the environmental function at site, regional, and client levels.
3. A proactive and collaborative leadership style, with the ability to influence teams and embed a strong environmental culture.
