Job description

Environmental & Sustainability Manager | Corby (with travel to Scunthorpe and occasionally Ireland) | £55,000-£65,000

Fancy a sustainability role where what you do on Monday actually changes how the business operates by Friday?

My client is a major UK food manufacturer supplying all the big supermarkets. They've split environmental and sustainability out from health and safety because it's that important now. That means this isn't a "tick-box" role - you'll be the person shaping how they hit carbon, water, waste and packaging targets, keeping accreditations like EcoVadis and ESOS on track, and making sure sites from Corby to Northern Ireland are working in a way that actually matches the sustainability story they tell their customers.

You'll report into the Group Head of H&S, but you'll have real board visibility. Some days you'll be on the shop floor sorting out recycling bins and ways of working with site teams; other days you'll be pulling together data for senior leaders or presenting to the board. It's proper end-to-end: strategy, compliance, culture change and everything in between.

They're not hung up on a specific background. What they care about is someone who can talk to anyone - from line operators to directors - build relationships, challenge constructively and drive change across a complex, multi-site operation. If you've got experience in environmental/sustainability (ideally in manufacturing or food), know your way around KPIs and frameworks like EcoVadis/ESOS/M2030, and want a role where you're needed from day one, this is it.

£55k-£65k, mostly Corby-based with travel across GB and occasional trips to Northern Ireland, and a real chance to leave your mark on how a big business operates.
