About Holcim

We are leaders in supplying innovative, sustainable building solutions to the UK construction industry; building progress for people and planet.

From our foundations in 1858 we've helped shape the UK; powering the construction of homes and hospitals, roads and railways, schools and cities alike.

But as our industry enables growth, it must also change. Tackling the very real carbon and climate challenges demands real action. That's why our mission is to make sustainable construction a reality.

With 4,000 colleagues across 200+ sites, we're passionate about helping Britain grow and thrive - doing the right thing, doing it together and making a difference. Working hand in hand with our customers and communities to deliver value from foundation to rooftop and build a more sustainable future for all of us.

The Opportunity

If you're passionate about creating low-carbon, innovative solutions for the construction industry, this is the perfect role for you.

• Environmental Impact Assessment: Conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) to evaluate the environmental footprint of our products, from raw materials to end-of-life and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) generation
• Sustainability Strategy: Develop and implement sustainability strategies that position Holcim as a leader in responsible, Net Zero-driven construction.
• Compliance & Reporting: Ensure all sustainability initiatives comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements, identifying optimal routes to market for sustainable products.
• Performance Tracking: Monitor sustainability progress, analyse key metrics, and provide data-driven recommendations to improve our environmental performance.
• Carbon Management: Oversee the accuracy and traceability of the ready-mixed concrete carbon calculator, ensuring alignment with Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and third-party verification.
• Sustainability Reporting: Fulfil carbon report requests for projects, tenders, and live contracts, ensuring timely and high-quality presentations.
• Internal & External Advocacy: Build sustainability case studies, support sales and specification teams in engaging clients on carbon reduction, and represent Holcim at industry forums and events.

Who You Are
You are a Product Sustainability Manager and a sustainability-driven professional with a passion for innovation and a deep understanding of environmental impact reduction. Your ability to analyse complex data, drive change, and influence key stakeholders makes you an ideal fit for this high-profile role.

• Detail-oriented, data-driven, and capable of handling high-level ambiguity.
• Strong analytical skills, with experience in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
• Proven track record in sustainability, environmental product management, or a related field within the construction or building materials industry.
