Sustainability & Environmental Lead

Sustainability & Environmental Lead
Chadderton, Greater Manchester - Permanent

Want a role where you can turn environmental goals into practical improvements across a manufacturing site?

Major Recruitment is recruiting a Sustainability & Environmental Lead for an established manufacturing business in Chadderton.

Reporting to the QHSE Manager, you’ll take ownership of environmental compliance and help drive the site’s sustainability plans. The role combines hands-on work with production and engineering teams, data reporting and coordination with customers and suppliers.

The role

• Maintain and improve environmental compliance, including permits, consents and site obligations.

• Drive environmental improvements across plant and manufacturing processes.

• Support ISO 14001 systems, audits and corrective actions.

• Track and report carbon emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3.

• Progress the sustainability roadmap and coordinate actions across departments.

• Manage sustainability assessments, customer questionnaires and supporting evidence.

• Work with suppliers on sustainability and responsible procurement.

• Monitor relevant legislative changes and help the business respond.

About you

You’ll bring environmental or sustainability experience within manufacturing, together with the ability to turn requirements and data into clear actions.

Aerospace experience would be useful, although automotive, food, pharmaceutical, medical devices and other manufacturing backgrounds will also be considered.

Experience of ISO 14001, environmental compliance and delivering site improvements is particularly relevant. Carbon reporting, sustainability assessments such as EcoVadis, and supplier engagement would also be valuable.

You may be an established environmental or sustainability professional, or someone ready to take greater ownership. The business is open to different strengths across environmental compliance and sustainability, with scope to develop further knowledge and qualifications.

You’ll need to be organised, confident with data and able to build relationships with the people who will help deliver the changes.
