Start your journey as a changemaker, understand more about the key issues behind climate change, decarbonization, sustainability and join us to promote positive change. In UK & Ireland (UK&I) we work with corporate and public sector clients, equipping them with the strategies, tools and solutions needed to make sustainable choices and create long-term value, not just for their own business, but for the benefit of our planet and society. What will you be doing?

  • Building your understanding of the impact of key issues for business relating to climate change and sustainability, and applying your knowledge every day
  • Contributing to a wide range of real projects with real impact, helping clients become more sustainable, which could include ESG assurance to climate change advisory, and from human rights to circular economy
  • Working with teams across different business areas to deliver multi-disciplinary and cross-geographical work
  • Developing core skills in business writing, effective time management, client service and personal brand through on-the-job learning, self-directed learning and presentation opportunities

    We operate an open access policy, meaning we don't screen out applications on your academic performance alone. You will however need to be working towards an honours degree related to Environmental Science/ Climate Science/ Engineering, Geography/ Geology, Energy, Sustainability/ Sustainable Development, Sustainable Finance/ Economics, or similar. You'll also have a minimum of grade 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Maths, or in your home language if you do not hold English Language GCSE, and three A-levels/Five Highers (or equivalent) to be eligible to apply.
  • You'll also need an eagerness to learn, a strong understanding of sustainability principles and the impact they can have on the world, great communication skills, commercial acumen, a passion for data, an openness to travel, and a strong, proactive determination that will inspire you to be a force for good.
