About Us
Multipanel UK is an ambitious, fast-growing company trading in a global market and, thanks to constant growth we are often looking for enthusiastic, pro-active individuals to be part of our exciting future. If you feel you have relevant skills and experience and would like to join our team, contact us with a copy of your CV.
Your Opportunity
Be the first to shape our environmental and sustainability agenda in a brand-new role created to lead Multipanel UK's response to some of the biggest regulatory and environmental challenges facing UK manufacturing today.
From EU and UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) compliance, to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Packaging Waste Regulations (PPWR), to the development of a first-of-its-kind end-of-life recycling scheme for our Aluminium Composite Panels, this role puts you at the centre of a genuinely new function within the business.
As our Graduate Trainee Environmental & Sustainability Manager, you will work closely with our Commercial Director and colleagues across procurement, production, and sales, turning complex legislation into practical action. This is a rare opportunity for a graduate to build something from the ground up and see your work shape our environmental credentials and commercial success.
