The Opportunity

A leading sustainability enterprise are looking for an ambitious, analytical, and forward-thinking graduate to join their growing environmental advisory team in New York. As a Graduate Sustainability Consultant, you won’t just be filing paperwork—you will actively help corporate clients, real estate developers, and municipal agencies navigate decarbonization, resource efficiency, and local environmental compliance regulations.

This role offers a structured mentorship pipeline designed to take you from a raw graduate to a fully autonomous, specialized consultant within 18 months.

Responsibilities:

• Carbon Accounting & Reporting: Assist in compiling and verifying Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories using enterprise sustainability software.
• Built Environment Strategy: Coordinate with engineering and architecture teams to analyze building-scale data, helping developments hit targeted certifications (LEED, WELL, or local energy compliance codes).
• Data Analytics & Modeling: Build and maintain data models tracking client resource usage, focusing on water stewardship, waste diversion, and energy efficiency.
• ESG Materiality: Perform market research and peer benchmarking to help corporate clients identify and prioritize their long-term Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risks.

Ideal Candidate:

• Education: A recently completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Environmental Science, Sustainable Infrastructure, Engineering, Economics, or a related discipline.
• Analytical Mindset: Comfortable managing spreadsheets and large data sets. If you can spot trends in raw numbers, you will thrive here.
• Communication Skills: The ability to translate dense, technical scientific metrics into clear, actionable business insights for non-technical stakeholders.
• Direct mentorship from senior directors managing flagship green initiatives.
• Paid paths to professional certifications (LEED Green Associate, TRUE Waste, Greenhouse Gas Protocol).
• 401(k) matching, comprehensive medical/dental/vision coverage, and wellness stipends.
• A vibrant, purpose-driven office culture right in the heart of New York, complete with flexible hybrid working parameters.
