Job description

Some challenges are best left unexplored. This one isn’t.

My client is searching for a Sustainability Operations Analyst with the technical skill and analytical mindset to navigate complex data, uncover insights and turn them into smarter, more sustainable business decisions.

You’ll need the mind of an engineer, the instincts of an analyst and enough technical firepower to turn raw data into something useful.

Your toolkit?

• A degree in Chemical Engineering or Industrial Engineering
• 3+ years’ experience in a relevant analytical/technical environment
• Python — because sometimes Excel alone won’t get you through the ruins
• API integrations and the ability to connect systems and data
• Strong data experience, analytical thinking and problem-solving ability

This isn’t a role for someone who simply reports what the numbers say.

It’s for someone who questions them, investigates them and finds the story hidden underneath.

If you’re ready to combine engineering, technology, data, finance and sustainability to solve complex operational challenges, your next expedition awaits.

The clues are there. You just need to know where to look.
