Apply →

You’ll sit at the center of environmental operations for a large construction group, driving both regulatory compliance and the management of its ecological performance. That covers tracking waste, running audits in the field, and contributing directly to non-financial reporting, all while supporting operational departments as they make progress on their goals.

The stake is transforming the practices of a century-old company as it faces the challenges of the energy transition. Working on the carbon footprint and circular economy, you help the Group meaningfully cut its environmental footprint across large-scale projects — from civil-engineering structures to industrial infrastructure — making sustainability operational and measurable rather than theoretical.

This suits someone who holds a higher-education degree in environmental studies with a successful first experience, ideally gained in construction or industry, and who enjoys both technical analysis and being present on-site.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The role involves a comprehensive management of environmental performance, starting with regulatory monitoring and ensuring all subsidiaries comply with French environmental standards and DREAL requirements. You will be responsible for coordinating environmental audits and technical studies across various operational sites. Beyond compliance, you will lead the carbon footprint assessment (Bilan Carbone) for the Group and manage internal waste reduction strategies. This includes identifying practical circular economy solutions and supporting commercial teams in drafting environmental arguments for major public and private tenders. Finally, you will act as a key driver for the Group’s CSR strategy by monitoring environmental KPIs and preparing mandatory reports like the DPEF. This involves frequent field visits to train construction teams and verify that environmental protocols are strictly followed on-site.

Key learning opportunities for this job

Candidates will gain significant expertise in applying ISO 14001 standards and EcoVadis frameworks within the complex context of the construction industry. The role offers exposure to diverse technical sectors, from metal construction to mobile mechanical structures, providing a broad view of industrial environmental challenges. You will also sharpen your skills in carbon accounting and ESG reporting under the latest European regulations. Working directly under the Group QSSE Director provides high-level mentorship in navigating administrative relationships with authorities like DREAL and managing multi-site environmental transitions.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The ideal candidate holds a Master’s degree (Bac+5) in Environment or Sustainable Development. They should possess a solid grasp of environmental regulations and have a proven track record in project management or auditing, preferably within a technical or industrial environment such as the building trade. Software proficiency for carbon data analysis and a strong rigorous mindset are essential for tracking complex KPIs. Since the role involves convincing operational staff to change habits, excellent communication skills and a natural ability to federate teams around green initiatives are vital.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Focus your application on your ability to bridge the gap between administrative compliance and operational reality. Highlighting specific examples where you implemented waste reduction or energy-saving measures on active industrial sites will resonate with Baudin Chateauneuf’s hands-on culture. Demonstrate your familiarity with the BTP sector’s specific constraints, such as regional site management and the volatility of waste recycling markets. Showing that you understand both the 'office' side of reporting and the 'ground' side of site inspections will set you apart from more academic candidates.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The core focus is on the decarbonization of construction activities through accurate carbon footprint monitoring and operational action plans. This includes improving material lifecycle management and promoting circular economy principles throughout the group’s project portfolio. You will also focus heavily on responsible operational practices, ensuring that the heavy industrial footprint of the company is mitigated through strict waste sorting and the selection of eco-friendly subcontractors. The position is central to the company’s objective of maintaining its centennial reputation while aligning with modern CSR standards.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

The primary challenge lies in the diversity of the Group’s activities, which range from industrial maintenance to large-scale infrastructure projects, each with unique environmental impacts and regulations. Balancing the requirements of the QSSE department with the rapid pace of construction schedules can be demanding. Additionally, driving behavioral change among operational teams who may prioritize production over environmental protocols requires persistence. You will need to maintain high levels of accuracy in data collection across multiple subsidiaries to ensure the integrity of the group’s CSR reporting.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A typical day might begin at the headquarters in Châteauneuf-sur-Loire, reviewing the latest environmental regulatory updates or analyzing carbon data from local subsidiaries. You might then coordinate with the commercial team to provide technical input for an upcoming bridge construction bid. The afternoon could involve a site visit to audit waste management procedures on a flagship project, followed by a meeting with the QSSE Director to discuss the progress of the annual EcoVadis assessment. Communication with external partners like service providers or national environmental agencies is a frequent part of the workflow.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

As the Group continues to expand internationally and diversify into energy transition solutions, there is significant potential to move into strategic CSR management roles. Successfully developing the environmental department could lead to more senior positions within the QSSE hierarchy or regional environmental leadership. The role also offers the opportunity to become a specialized expert in green construction and sustainable procurement, paths that are increasingly critical as the industry matures towards net-zero targets.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

You will report directly to the Group QSSE Director and work closely with the general management of various subsidiaries. Frequent collaboration with the commercial and technical teams is required to align environmental goals with project requirements. External interactions will include regulatory bodies like DREAL, specialized waste management providers, and third-party auditors. On a daily basis, you will also be a visible presence for site managers and construction teams, acting as their primary coach for environmental best practices.
