Job Description
Sustainability Advisor – would suit a Graduate
This is a growing consultancy with excellent career potential within an expanding team.
Our client is an outsourced purchasing and cost reduction consultancy who specialise in the management and control of overheads for businesses throughout the UK. Sustainability is one of the fastest-growing areas of the business, as more of their clients embark on their sustainability journeys to reduce environmental impact. They offer scalable Sustainability Consultancy Services for the wider automotive retail and repair industry. The successful candidate will play an active role in shaping and delivering these services and support pioneering projects, such as the ARIES Accident Repair Industry Environmental Standard, helping to decarbonise the automotive repair industry.
What makes a good Sustainability Advisor?
This role will suit someone of graduate caliber who is focused, motivated and comfortable in dealing with large data sets. We are seeking an individual with a practical mindset, who is a strategic thinker with the ability to solve problems and use their initiative to generate the best possible outcomes for their clients, the environment, and society. A desire to develop their knowledge and experience to support the Sustainability Lead and wider Energy Management Team would be advantageous.
Candidates must have strong analytical skills with the ability to share findings with a variety of audiences with differing levels of expertise. Therefore, confidence in communicating with people at all levels of an organisation would be beneficial to help motivate behavioral change, this can be achieved by passing on their enthusiasm for sustainability and the environment.
Qualifications
An Environmental Science/Geography degree or related qualifications are desirable, but not essential, as we are looking for someone with commercial awareness and an interest in sustainability as both elements are important for the role. This could provide a fantastic career path opportunity for the right candidate regardless of experience in this field. Good IT skills are a must, especially Microsoft Excel.
Key Responsibilities of the Sustainability Advisor
The successful candidate will be involved in generating the data elements required in delivering Sustainability Strategies to clients. This includes but is not limited to carbon accounting and reduction analysis as part of ongoing carbon management, to achieve targets of up to 30% decrease in carbon emissions.

You’ll support clients in achieving verification to the ARIES standard, ensuring alignment with ISO:(phone number removed) Carbon Neutrality, and in setting Net Zero targets in line with recognised frameworks such as SBTi. The candidate should be keen on learning and understanding global sustainability pathways and initiatives.

* Acquiring emissions source data and converting to carbon figures for sites and organisations.
* Create carbon footprints in line with industry requirements and global standards.
* On-going monitoring of energy usage and carbon emissions across an organisation.

4. GHG Protocol
