Description:
Environmental & Sustainability Manager
Doncaster
£50,000 - £60,000 (Potential Flexibility) + Company Car or £6,000 Car Allowance + Family Private Healthcare
Are you seeking a role that is more focused on the Environmental and Sustainability elements of projects, from the very start?
The Opportunity
Our client has developed a new role to bring on a Environmental & Sustainability Pre-Contract Manager, a strategic role sitting within their Work Winning function.
This is not a traditional environmental compliance role focused on project delivery. Instead, you'll be responsible for ensuring sustainability is embedded into bids from the very beginning, helping shape winning tender submissions for major Rail and Civil Engineering projects across the UK.
The role has been created because the Head of Environment has been carrying out this function herself, consistently producing exceptional tender submissions and achieving maximum evaluation scores. Due to continued business growth, they now want someone dedicated to this area who can build the function and make it their own.
This is a hybrid role, typically 3 days in the office / 2 days working from home, subject to workload and business requirements
Why this role is different
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys the commercial side of environmental management.
Rather than spending your time on site managing compliance, you'll become a key member of large bid teams, influencing projects before they're won.
You'll work closely with estimators, bid managers, operational teams and technical specialists to develop sustainability strategies that genuinely add value and help secure work.
Every bid is different.
Success comes from understanding each client individually, interpreting what they're asking for, identifying what environmental commitments will score highly, forecasting the environmental resource required and ensuring those costs are incorporated correctly into the tender.
It's a role that combines environmental expertise with commercial thinking.
In return the organisation will support you with accreditations and there are future opportunities to progress.
The Ideal Background
Our client is keen to attract someone from a construction, infrastructure or engineering environment where they already understand how major projects are delivered.
This could include experience within:
Rail
Civil Engineering
Construction
Highways
Energy
Utilities
Infrastructure
The role would particularly suit someone looking to move away from a project or site-based environmental position into a more strategic, corporate function where they can influence projects nationally rather than delivering one project at a time.
Previous bid experience would be advantageous but isn't essential if you have the right environmental background and commercial mindset.
What They're Looking For
Ideally you'll have:
Environmental or Sustainability degree (or equivalent)
Experience within construction, rail or major infrastructure
Strong understanding of environmental legislation and sustainability principles
Professional memberships such as IEMA / ISEP Practitioner, Full IMEA / ISEP Membership or Chartered Environmentalist are desirable but not essential.
Package
Salary c£60,000 per annum
Company Car or £6,000 Car Allowance
Hybrid working
Family Private Medical Insurance
Competitive Pension (3% Employee / 5% Employer)
38-hour working week
25 Days Annual Leave plus Bank Holiday + Birthday Leave
Life Assurance
Training & Development
Why choose this role?
This is a rare opportunity to move into one of the most commercially influential environmental roles within a major contractor.
If you're currently an Environmental Advisor, Environmental Manager or Sustainability Manager working on projects and enjoy the strategic side of the role more than day-to-day compliance, this offers a chance to shape work before it's even won. You'll work on bids across multiple sectors, collaborate with senior stakeholders, and help secure nationally significant infrastructure projects.
It's a newly created role with real visibility, where you'll have the opportunity to define the function, introduce new ideas, and become the go-to sustainability expert within the work-winning team
