Your impact

We are seeking a motivated and multidisciplinary early-career professional to join our Ports & Maritime (P&M) team in the US Northwest region. This new role will provide critical support for sustainability and climate-related initiatives within the Ports & Maritime group and related transportation markets.

Ports are facing growing expectations and needs for improving their environmental footprints whilst delivering increased resilience against future operating scenarios. The balance between environmental mitigation and adaption is challenging, and requires informed decision-making through clarity of regulatory changes, insight into emerging technologies and technical understanding of scientific practices. Overlayed onto this is a need to truly understand Ports business and operations.

As part of our Adaptation and Efficiency division you will gain unique understanding and knowledge of Port operations and how they need to change in the coming years to achieve mitigation and adaption goals. You will provide technical support to projects focused on developing greenhouse gas (GHG) and air emissions inventories, environmental impact management, climate adaptation and resilience planning, decarbonization roadmaps, and other sustainability strategies.

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of ports and maritime operations while gaining hands-on experience in climate and environmental solutions.
