Vinova are partnering with an established organisation within the energy and infrastructure sector that is looking to appoint an experienced ESG Lead.


This is a broad ESG role with responsibility for carbon accounting, climate reporting, decarbonisation and wider sustainability initiatives across a growing business.


You’ll take ownership of ESG reporting and strategy, working across the organisation to improve emissions data, manage climate-related requirements and turn sustainability commitments into practical actions.


About the role

This is a hands-on ESG position rather than a purely strategic or reporting-focused role.


You’ll be responsible for understanding and reporting the organisation’s Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, developing its decarbonisation roadmap and supporting climate-related disclosure requirements including AASB S2.


The role will work closely with Finance, Operations, Projects, Procurement and senior leadership, giving you the opportunity to build ESG capability across the organisation as it continues to grow.


Duties

  • Own and develop the organisation’s ESG strategy and framework
  • Manage Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon accounting and emissions reporting
  • Develop and implement decarbonisation and emissions-reduction initiatives
  • Lead ESG and sustainability reporting
  • Support AASB S2 climate-related financial disclosures
  • Manage climate risk and opportunity assessments
  • Support NGER and other relevant reporting requirements
  • Improve ESG data collection, controls and governance
  • Coordinate external assurance of ESG and emissions data
  • Work with internal stakeholders to embed ESG across the business
  • Support broader initiatives across responsible procurement, modern slavery, biodiversity and sustainability


About you

You’ll be an experienced sustainability, ESG or climate professional with strong technical capability across carbon accounting, reporting and decarbonisation.


Experience within energy, infrastructure, property, utilities, construction or another asset-intensive environment would be highly regarded, although direct sector experience isn’t essential.


Ideally, you’ll bring:

  • 5+ years’ experience within ESG, sustainability, climate or carbon
  • Hands-on experience with Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon accounting
  • Experience developing decarbonisation or net-zero strategies
  • Strong sustainability or ESG reporting experience
  • Knowledge of AASB S2 / ASRS and climate-related disclosure requirements
  • Knowledge of the GHG Protocol and NGER
  • Experience with climate risk and scenario analysis
  • Strong ESG data and reporting capability
  • Confidence working with senior stakeholders across different business functions
  • The ability to work autonomously and take ownership of the ESG function


What’s on offer

This is an opportunity to join a growing energy and infrastructure organisation and take genuine ownership of its ESG function.


You’ll have broad exposure across carbon, climate, reporting and sustainability, the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership and the ability to shape how ESG develops across the business as it continues to grow.
