Sustainability Associate

The Team:
Cundall globally was also the first multidisciplinary consultancy to become a One Planet Living Certified company, and the first to achieve carbon neutral certification. Inventing solutions to advance progress towards net zero and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are our mission - and we collaborate across geographies, time zones, disciplines and cultures to deliver the best opportunities for our people and a better future for the planet we all call home.

Because saving this precious human habitat means everyone, everywhere needs to be part of the journey, we have also committed to our Zero Carbon Design 2030 pledge, which is ensuring every client and every project recognises the opportunities and benefits of a zero carbon outcome - and by 2030 we will only work on projects that are net zero.

Advancing this commitment also engages our people in regular thought leadership opportunities for the wider industry, through participation in conferences, expos, industry committees, webinars, white papers, media exposure and digital content.

The heart of our practice is recognising that people thrive when they are given the tools, encouragement and incentives that enable them to do their best work and grow in expertise, capabilities and knowledge. We have a strong focus on training, facilitating career development, contributing to personal physical and emotional wellbeing and creating a culture of respect and celebration of diversity.

If you share our sense of urgency to help create a sustainable global future - and see the challenge of the decarbonisation transition as a brilliant opportunity to bring new ideas into the limelight - talk to us.
