The role of Sustainability and Net Zero Projects Officer will provide project support across the Council’s sustainability and net zero portfolio, covering decarbonisation of buildings, clean energy and heat, green transport, waste and recycling, and biodiversity initiatives. Delivery of multiple, diverse projects from inception to closure within agreed time, quality and cost parameters, including setting up core project documents, managing risks and issues, overseeing budgets and suppliers, and reporting against KPIs such as carbon reduction, social value and cost savings.
