About the Role

Working closely with the Regional EHS Lead, unit managers, and executive stakeholders, you will design, implement, and continuously improve the infrastructure that underpins our safety and environmental performance. You will also play a central role in advancing our ESG commitments, leading sustainability initiatives, and carbon reduction programmes that align with gategroup's global objectives.
