SOC 2152 is an eligible occupation, but we classified this role with low confidence (43% match). If the code is right — and National Express Bus is a licensed sponsor — it should qualify, but double-check the occupation eligibility rules against the actual role.

Passionate about green initiatives, zero emissions, and making a real environmental impact? National Express Bus is looking for an Environmental Compliance & Sustainability Manager to lead our sustainability and environmental compliance agenda.
As we transition toward a Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) fleet, you will be our trusted advisor on environmental regulations, waste management, energy efficiency, and carbon reduction.

- Drive Zero Emission Goals: Support our decarbonisation strategy, fleet transition to zero emission vehicles, and the roll out of green infrastructure.
- Ensure Compliance: Keep us fully compliant with UK environmental legislation, licences, and permits, while liaising with environmental regulators and local authorities.
- Conduct Audits & Investigations: Lead site inspections, track environmental performance, investigate pollution incidents or near misses, and deliver root cause analyses.
- Track ESG Metrics: Monitor and report greenhouse gas emissions, fuel use, waste, and energy consumption to senior leadership and external audit bodies.
- Build Awareness: Run sustainability campaigns, create environmental training materials, and support managers in hitting their site environmental targets.
What we need from you
- Relevant Qualifications: An Environmental Diploma or equivalent (e.g., NVQ 4) and at least Associate Membership of IEMA (AIEMA).
