This role acts as the primary global conduit between the central group sustainability office and a vast network of country-level ESG coordinators. You will maintain oversight of environmental management systems, ensuring that international operations adhere to rigorous corporate standards while navigating local compliance complexities across multiple continents. Your focus remains on standardizing risk assessments, incident management, and reporting frameworks to provide a clear view of the group’s environmental footprint.
Working for a heavy industrial giant like Heidelberg Materials means this position is at the absolute front line of the circular economy transition. By harmonizing global environmental governance, you directly enable the company’s high-stakes mission to produce carbon-neutral building materials. Your expertise helps accelerate the adoption of best-in-class environmental practices in sectors traditionally difficult to decarbonize, such as cement and concrete production.
This suits someone who possesses significant experience in heavy industrial environmental management and thrives on building bridges between technical site requirements and high-level corporate strategy. You should be comfortable influencing stakeholders across diverse cultures and complex organizational hierarchies.
