This purpose of this role is to bring carbon accounting expertise into the team and to deliver engagements around voluntary and mandatory sustainability reporting, carbon footprint/accounting.

  • Support in developing and optimizing national methodologies to help drive efficiency and consistency across the broader carbon accounting and sustainability teams.
  • Understand and apply the firm’s quality and professional delivery standards required to deliver assurance services.
  • Develop externally facing material about the ESG practice (e.g. articles, presentations) and contribute to capability building internally through the development of tools and training where there is capacity.
  • Work with other team members, impart technical knowledge, grow technical knowledge and liaise with senior stakeholders.

About you

  • Relevant tertiary qualification/s and related accreditations (e.g. Climate Active registration) in a discipline related to the role.
  • Advanced knowledge in GHG and/or NGER, and application of tools and strategies in carbon measurement.
  • Demonstrable experience in climate and carbon reporting, including reporting frameworks and executing solutions for clients.
  • Knowledge and practical experience in consulting and project management
  • Strong project management, research, and presentation capabilities.
  • Clear and effective communication skills with the ability to build strong working relationships.
  • Highly developed interpersonal skills with a self-motivated approach to the role.
