Location: Explore Manufacturing - Worksop in Nottinghamshire – Site Based
We're looking for a passionate and pragmatic Senior Sustainability Advisor to drive environmental performance across Europe's most advanced concrete manufacturing facility. This is a hands-on, site-based role, reporting to a roaming Sustainability Lead, and is critical to delivering our environmental compliance, net zero ambitions, and sustainability strategy.
Based at Explore Manufacturing in Worksop, you'll be at the forefront of driving measurable environmental improvements across a high-tech manufacturing environment. From decarbonising operations and reducing energy and water use, to minimising waste and embedding circular economy principles, your work will span design, production, and operations. You'll have the autonomy to take ownership, develop practical solutions, and lead environmental progress across the facility.

We're already making great progress through innovation-led projects like Decarbonising Manufactured Concrete , co-funded by the UK's Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF). Now, we're looking for someone like you to help us accelerate environmental innovation and compliance across our operations.
Key Responsibilities
About You
