We're collaborating with a prestigious global consultancy that has just secured a significant contract within the water industry. Due to this major win, we're seeking an experienced Environmental Management System (EMS) Lead to join their team in Reading on a minimum 6-month contract, with strong potential for extension.
This pivotal role involves enhancing our client's EMS in response to increasing regulatory scrutiny and a potential future pursuit of ISO 14001 certification.

Key Responsibilities:
Scope and execute the internal EMS audit programme, ensuring alignment with regulatory expectations and internal performance goals.
Support the review and development of documented business processes and procedures, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and permit requirements.
Act as a subject matter expert to help the organisation learn from environmental non-conformances and embed these lessons to prevent recurrence.
Consolidate and package all work completed during the secondment, ensuring a robust and seamless handover to the incoming permanent EMS Lead.

Substantial experience in environmental management systems, with a strong understanding of regulatory frameworks and ISO 14001 principles.
Proven ability to lead internal audits, develop and refine business processes, and influence organisational learning from non-conformances.
Strong stakeholder engagement skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently and deliver structured outcomes within a fixed timeframe.
