As the Sustainability Project Lead, you will take full ownership of a focused three-month transformation project to formalize and elevate the environmental standards of a prominent Scottish catering company. Your primary objective is to move beyond informal good practices by auditing current operations and establishing a rigorous, permanent framework for circularity and carbon reduction. You will be responsible for creating the systems, policies, and evidence needed to secure high-level external recognition.
This role matters because it bridges the gap between high-volume event hospitality and meaningful climate action. By refining procurement channels and managing food waste at scale, you will directly influence the environmental footprint of major Scottish events. Success here means achieving a Gold Green Tourism certification, proving that bespoke catering can be both a premium culinary experience and a model for local, seasonal, and low-impact business operations.
This suits someone who is a self-starting project manager with a deep understanding of the hospitality supply chain. You should thrive on turning abstract sustainability goals into tangible, operational reality within a fast-moving, family-run business environment.
