Environmental & Sustainability Manager

Location: Colnbrook, Slough
Salary: £65,000 – £70,000
Hours: Full-time, 45 hours per week (Monday–Friday)

Are you someone who’s truly passionate about sustainability and ready to turn that passion into real impact? We’re partnering with a well-established UK food manufacturer to help them find their first Environmental & Sustainability Manager—a newly created position based at their busy production site in Slough.

This isn’t just a box-ticking role. It’s a chance to lead environmental strategy from the ground up, influence high-level decision-making, and help a business already on the path to Carbon Net Zero make meaningful, measurable progress.

What You’ll Be Doing

* Building and leading robust environmental and energy management systems (aligned with ISO 14001 and ISO 50001)
* Managing and reporting on carbon emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3)
* Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, including SECR and Climate Change Agreements
* Leading initiatives to improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, and strengthen sustainable practices across the supply chain
* Acting as the sustainability voice at group-level meetings—shaping strategy beyond just one site

What’s On Offer

* A salary between £65,000 and £70,000, depending on your experience
* A permanent, site-based role with real strategic influence
* The opportunity to shape sustainability policy in a business that’s serious about doing the right thing

What We’re Looking For

* Solid experience in environmental or sustainability management within manufacturing (food/FMCG is a bonus)
* Strong working knowledge of environmental legislation, ISO standards, and carbon reporting
* Confident communicator, skilled at building buy-in across teams and senior stakeholders
* Ideally, you’ll bring a relevant professional membership (e.g., AMIEMA)
