    Summary of Role

    We’ve experienced unprecedented growth in the demand for our services. To sustain the growth in activity in our service area from domestic and global clients, we are seeking to appoint interns or junior consultants to support across the breadth of our teams and services within our Production & Consumption Community. You will have the opportunity to support the following teams on a rolling basis:

    • Waste & Resource Recovery (advising clients seeking to develop or invest in waste management and recycling infrastructure and to support clients to move to circular business models and zero waste)
    • Packaging (advising clients primarily in the retail and manufacturing sectors to understand the environmental impacts of their packaging and identify and monitor sustainability improvements)
    • Supply Chains (supporting brands to understand and support their multi-stakeholder supply chains to reduce their impacts, and meet customer demands for more sustainable products and operations)
    • Regenerative Agriculture (advising clients in the food production supply chain to reduce waste and emissions across the food production lifecycle)
    • EMS (advising clients aiming to transition to more sustainable business models through support to develop, implement, maintain, and continuously improve EMSs and achieve ISO 14001: 2015 certification)

    You will have the opportunity to experience the work of each team and contribute to project delivery. We would assign a senior lead in each team and a buddy (an experienced junior consultant) to support you over the whole internship period. We would also support you to understand and potentially contribute to the work of our other teams, such as Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) due diligence, and Carbon Analytics.
