  6. Support the marketing/communications strategy for the GHD Sustainability, Resilience and ESG practice to strengthen the GHD brand and position us as a leader in this field.
  7. Working closely with colleagues, create a positive learning culture, and coach and mentor junior team members.
  8. Collaborate with colleagues outside of Sustainability, Resilience & ESG to deliver multi-disciplinary and cross-geographical work.
  9. Support the GHD Sustainability, Resilience and ESG practice to meet GHD's overall objectives in terms of financial performance, risk management and strategic development, adhering to GHD's core values.

The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate knowledge/experience in some or all of the following:

  1. Carbon accounting and decarbonisation pathway development.
  2. Net zero strategy development, including alignment with the Science Based Targets Initiative.
  3. Sustainability / ESG strategy and roadmap support and implementation.
  4. Sustainability Reporting (SASB, GRI, UNSDGs, UNGC, Dow Jones), including data capture & analysis.
  5. Climate Disclosures (CDP, TCFD, SBTi) and how they support strategies and targets.

Skills and attributes for success:

  1. Excellent understanding of sustainability and ESG.
  2. Experience as a practitioner in the field, in the public or private sectors.
  3. Experience of business development.
  4. Ability to apply knowledge to real-world problems.
  5. Excellent project management skills.
  6. Ability to work effectively within a team.
  7. Professional presence with the ability to establish personal credibility.
