• Producing and rolling out a staff travel survey across the airport with a view to further improving response rates.
• Support with the launch of the second version of our Greater Good strategy.
• Support with Campus Partner Engagement on sustainability related matters.

We are looking for a motivated individual to join the team, someone that can work with teams and colleagues throughout the airport.

• You will be enthusiastic with a good work ethic.
• You have an interest in all things sustainability and, ideally, a desire to work in the field in the future.
• You should also be a skilled communicator and comfortable working on projects independently.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is essential.
