Carbon Footprint Measurement
Apply the GHG Protocol (Scopes 1-3) using our in-house calculator and external factor libraries
Research and validate emission factors, benchmarks and supplier disclosures
Future Focus
Build simple models (regression, gap-filling) to forecast emissions and identify hotspots
Build models for Net-Zero pathways and reduction strategies
Automation & Reporting
Support on pulling data from APIs or internal platforms into automated reports and dashboards
Develop templated outputs (spreadsheets, slide decks, PDFs) that update with minimal manual effort
Innovation & Process Improvement
Continuously review existing workflows, suggest new tools (no-code, scripting, AI/LLMs) and drive pilots
Work alongside platform engineers and senior consultants to integrate best practices
Qualifications & Core Skills

Great attention and care for detail
Self-starter attitude: proactive, resourceful, and eager to learn new technologies
Future Focus
Exposure to machine learning or statistical modelling libraries
