At Bellway we recognise that people are the key to our success, and we are committed to building an inclusive culture that values and respects difference combined with creating a safe and inclusive working environment for all colleagues. This means we are positive about making adjustments as well as providing flexible working and we would be happy to talk to you about how this could work for you.

As the Senior Sustainability Coordinator, you will report directly to the Head of Sustainability and support environmental management, carbon reduction, waste reporting, supplier engagement and life cycle assessment. This is a varied role that will help Bellway deliver against ambitious sustainability targets and maintain high standards across the Group.

If you have construction or house building experience and are looking for an opportunity to move into a sustainability-focused role where you can learn, contribute and make a visible impact, we would be keen to hear from you. We are not looking for someone to arrive as a technical sustainability expert. We already have that expertise within the team. What we are looking for is someone who understands how construction businesses operate, can coordinate complex projects, manage documentation and systems, build strong relationships across divisions and bring a proactive, pragmatic approach to getting things done.

The Role

As the Senior Sustainability Coordinator, you will help coordinate key sustainability activity across Bellway s divisions. A major part of the role will be supporting the annual roll-out, review and audit of Bellway s Environmental Management System, which includes a significant number of processes and requires strong organisation, document control and stakeholder management.

You will also support monthly waste reporting, carbon footprint activity, supplier meetings and the introduction of a new Life Cycle Assessment system, replacing the current Excel-based process. The role will involve working with internal stakeholders across construction, technical, commercial and divisional leadership teams, as well as external partners including auditors, consultants and verification bodies.

This is a varied, hands-on role that would suit someone who enjoys project coordination, systems, process improvement, data, stakeholder engagement and learning new subject areas. You will be joining at an important time, with upcoming divisional meetings, new waste and site fuel targets, future external audits and the roll-out of new sustainability tools and reporting processes. We are also anticipating the arrival of the Future Homes Standard from 2027/28, which will deliver significant reductions in carbon emissions.

We are looking for someone who is organised, personable and confident working with a range of stakeholders. You will need to be comfortable managing documentation, coordinating projects, following up actions and helping translate processes and targets into practical activity across the business.
