The Sustainability Manager will support delivery of the client's sustainability strategy across the King’s Cross Estate.

The post holder will work closely with property management, engineering, occupiers, service partners and the client team to turn agreed sustainability priorities into measurable action.
This role is dedicated to the King’s Cross Estate. The successful candidate will be site-based.

- Keep clear, audit-ready records and escalate compliance risks, gaps or recurring issues in a timely and proportionate way.
