  * Provide technical guidance on the environmental aspects of emerging technologies, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), EV charging infrastructure, and Hydrogen capture.
  * Lead environmental incident investigations, ensuring root cause analysis is robust and "lessons learnt" are shared across the varied business streams.
  * Act as the primary point of contact for clients regarding environmental performance and carbon reporting.
