Sustainability Engineer, Cannock

GRADUATE SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER
Cannock

Most graduate roles talk about "opportunity."

This one actually gives you responsibility.

We're partnering with a fast-growing engineering and building services business investing heavily in sustainability, compliance, and long-term environmental strategy. They're looking for a driven Graduate Sustainability Officer who wants more than just spreadsheets and shadowing senior staff.

You'll get hands-on exposure from day one.

This is a chance to step into a business actively pushing toward ISO 14001 accreditation, driving Net Zero initiatives, and embedding sustainability into real-world engineering projects across the UK.

If you're ambitious, analytical, and want a career where you can make a measurable impact early, keep reading.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

* Supporting the rollout and continuous improvement of environmental and sustainability systems
* Assisting with ISO 14001 implementation and compliance activities
* Monitoring energy usage, waste, carbon reporting, and environmental performance data
* Working alongside operational and project teams to improve sustainable delivery across live projects
* Supporting audits, compliance reporting, and environmental documentation
* Contributing toward Net Zero strategies and sustainability action plans
* Supporting BREEAM-related activities and low-carbon project initiatives
* Learning how sustainability actually works inside a commercial engineering environment - not just in theory

WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR

* Degree qualified (or nearing completion) in Sustainability, Environmental Science, Engineering, or similar
* Strong interest in sustainability, compliance, carbon reduction, or environmental management
* Organised, commercially aware, and proactive
* Someone who wants progression - not just a placeholder graduate role
* Strong communication skills and confidence working with multiple departments
* Good Excel / Microsoft Office capability

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE

* Exposure to ISO standards, carbon reporting, BREEAM, or environmental compliance
* Internship, placement year, or project experience within sustainability or engineering
* Knowledge of UK environmental legislation or Net Zero frameworks

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

A lot of graduate sustainability roles are heavy on admin and light on ownership.

This isn't one of them.

You'll join a business where sustainability is becoming a core commercial priority, which means visibility, development, and progression for the right person.

You'll work directly with experienced operational and technical teams, gain exposure to major engineering projects, and build practical experience that will accelerate your career fast.

If you want a graduate role where you can genuinely build a future in sustainability - this is worth a conversation.
