Examples of Climate Change and Net-Zero Positions

The job titles and scopes of Climate change and Net Zero positions can vary depending on the organisation's specific objectives and priorities.  Our expertise lies in helping our clients recruit for a wide range of roles, including: 

• Climate Change Analyst: These professionals analyse data related to climate change, create reports, develop climate-related policies, and may provide advice to organisations or governments on climate-related decisions.

• Sustainability Consultant: These individuals work with companies to help them reduce their environmental impact and move towards net-zero emissions. This can involve everything from energy efficiency measures to supply chain management.

• Carbon Market Analyst: Carbon markets are systems for trading greenhouse gas emission allowances. Analysts in this field track and predict market movements, advise companies on trading decisions and may be involved in developing new carbon markets.

• Net-Zero Project Manager/ Decarbonization Manager: These professionals manage projects to achieve net-zero emissions for a company or other organisation. This could involve managing various initiatives, such as energy efficiency upgrades, renewable energy installations, and carbon offset purchases.

• Climate Change Adaptation Specialist: These professionals help organisations adapt to the impacts of climate change, which could involve developing resilience strategies, designing infrastructure to cope with changing weather patterns, or advising on changes to business operations.

• Energy Efficiency Consultant: These consultants work with companies to reduce their energy use, which can be a key part of achieving net-zero emissions.

• Circular Economy Specialist: These professionals focus on developing business models and strategies that minimise waste and make the most efficient use of resources, which can contribute to reduced emissions.

• Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Specialist: CCS is a technology that can capture up to 90% of the carbon dioxide emissions produced from using fossil fuels in electricity generation and industrial processes, preventing CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

​These roles typically require a background in environmental science, engineering, economics, or a related field and a strong understanding of climate change and sustainability issues. Some roles may also require specific technical skills, such as experience with renewable energy technologies or climate modelling software.​
