• Working understanding and practical experience of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
• Relevant qualification, e.g. Higher National Diploma in Environmental Management or Science.
• ISO14001 EMS qualifications and/or practical experience.
• Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and commitment to seeing tasks through.
• Ability to communicate clearly and confidently, work collaboratively, and train and engage colleagues at all levels.
• Professional manner and a passion for environmental sustainability.
• Ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines and adapt to changing requirements.
