- Implement, maintain, and continuously improve an Environmental Management System (EMS) compliant with ISO 14001:2015, and support performance monitoring at the project and regional level.
- Support the deployment of corporate sustainability and ESG commitments within projects.
- Coordinate and support project teams in meeting sustainability or certification objectives such as LEED, Envision, or Green Globes, where required.
- Contribute environmental expertise during project pursuits and proposals, including risk identification, environmental strategies, and client requirements.
- Supervise and mobilize environmental coordinators and leads, coordinate monitoring activities, and manage performance, development, and reporting required for project and regional compliance.
