At SLR we Make Sustainability Happen.
SLR is an international environmental consultancy with a globally recognised reputation for providing high quality tailored services.
With close to 850+ staff in APAC alone, we provide consultancy advice and support on a wide range of strategic and site-specific issues to a diverse and growing base of business, regulatory and governmental clients.
We celebrate a 'One Team Culture', where bringing together diversity of thought and expression is key to building the best team to deliver excellent results.
We are seeking an early career Consultant or Senior Consultant to support the fast-growing demand for Climate Change & Net-Zero Strategy in the APAC region.
This is an opportunity to work with a wide range of projects and clients in the sustainability space where you will have the opportunity to develop your career in an energising and fun environment.
You will be directly involved in the delivery of client projects for large national and multinational companies across several industry sectors.
This will include supporting complex client projects, ownership of key tasks, as well as responsibility for directly managing smaller projects.
You will be encouraged to develop your skills and expertise, as well as your own professional network, internally and externally.
The role will be in our Climate Change & Net-Zero Strategy team, with a focus on delivering services in line with the upcoming Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS).
This includes services such as GHG Emissions Accounting, Renewable Energy, Target Setting & Decarbonisation Strategy, as well as the identification, assessment and management of climate-related risks and opportunities, including the use of climate scenario analysis.
Although the role will be based in Australia, you will also work with the wider APAC team delivering these services tailored to different geographical regulations.
Key Responsibilities
Outside of being an exceptional teammate, you will also be responsible for the following:
Work on client project teams, reporting to the project managers and directors for larger projects, as well as acting as the project manager for smaller projects.
Understand and interpret client needs, clearly communicating client goals and overall business objectives to internal and external stakeholders.
Gather data using a range of techniques (interviews, surveys, focus groups, data requests).
Utilise data analysis tools, including Excel, to create tailored reports and, in some cases, model and build scenarios.
Lead on the development of presentations and reports for clients that have a clear narrative and help to inform decisions.
Support new business generation through drafting and developing proposals with oversight from senior team members.
Conduct research, draft articles, deliver presentations and position SLR and yourself as a trusted thought leader in sustainable business.
Grow professional and industry contacts by representing SLR in virtual and out-of-office environments (events, conferences, panels).
Skills and Experience
Ideally, we would love for you to tick all these boxes but if you can tick most, that is a good start!
These technical aspects we seek are:
Have 2 years or more of relevant work experience.
Demonstrated experience in some aspects of climate change strategy, for example:
GHG accounting & development of corporate carbon footprints, including Scope 3.
Understanding of various net-zero, carbon neutral and other frameworks (including SBTi).
Experience developing and implementing decarbonisation strategies.
Carbon offsetting & residual emissions strategies.
Experience in undertaking climate change risk assessments for organisations, including climate scenario analysis.
The candidate would also be expected to have an understanding of the core requirements of the TCFD recommendations and IFRS S2, as well as the developments of the ASRS.
Exceptional verbal and written communication skills to deliver client-ready presentations.
Ability to distil quantitative and qualitative data and communicate it succinctly to clients.
Educational qualifications: A Bachelor's degree in a related discipline (Master's Degree preferred).
