Senior Climate and Sustainability Consultant - Cambridge, United Kingdom - ADAS
Description
The Vacancy
RSK ADAS is seeking a Senior Consultant working out of the offices near Cambridge (with the ability to work from home much of the time and access to attend meetings in the office when needed). Potential for home-based working for the right candidate and flexible working adjustments considered.
We are seeking an individual with relevant years' experience working in consultancy with expertise in climate change mitigation, measurement of GHG emissions or water stewardship, and a good foundation in UK agricultural production practices.
ADAS Climate and Sustainability are a diverse business working across all aspects of sustainability in relation to the land-based sectors, particularly focusing on agriculture. Our work is fast paced and ever-changing offering plenty of variety and lots of new challenges as we work with clients to help them address the sustainability challenges facing the industry. Our clients range from input providers, through farmers to food and drink manufacturers and the retail sector, and we also work with Government and the public sector bodies providing a wide range of solutions. We work across arable, horticultural and livestock sectors, as well as venturing into other land use areas as well. Key areas of focus in recent years have included reducing climate impact (supporting a move towards Net Zero), building resilience to climate change (assessing climate risk and developing adaptation strategies), understanding sustainable water use, exploring alternative novel proteins, and assessing the environmental and social impacts of changing crop production practices on European agriculture. This role will specifically aim to support the growth of our climate and/or water offers. There will be opportunities for taking responsibility for elements of business development.
Key responsibilities:
Our projects are typically short term (<6 months) and developed to meet our client's needs. We are therefore looking for adaptable individuals who are excited by the opportunity to work on a range of different challenges to support the growth of our team.
