With nearly 10,000 colleagues, we're looking for more brilliant people who are passionate about sustainability, eager to innovate, and ready to turn challenges into opportunities for a better future.
LET’S TELL YOU MORE

By driving asset and process improvements and promoting energy best practice, the team plays a key role in delivering greater efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and supporting our Net Zero ambitions.
In this role you'll identify, assess and deliver projects that reduce energy consumption through improvements in asset performance and operational processes across the business. Working with a wide range of stakeholders, you'll help drive energy efficiency initiatives that deliver measurable reductions in operating costs and carbon emissions. Your work will contribute directly to achieving key business targets while ensuring energy best practice is embedded in the selection, operation and optimisation of both existing and new assets.
