The opportunity
Our client is looking for a Graduate Sustainability Consultant to join their London team. This is a rare chance to start your career at the heart of the net-zero transition, working alongside experienced consultants on projects that genuinely move the needle for clients across multiple sectors.

- Helping prepare clear, compelling reports and presentations for clients.
- Researching evolving regulations, frameworks and best practice (e.g. GHG Protocol, SECR, CSRD, TCFD).
- Working directly with clients to understand their challenges and help shape solutions.
- Contributing to a collaborative team where your ideas are heard from day one.
