This specialist coordinates sustainability strategy and performance across CKPower and its subsidiaries. The work connects company targets with practical programs, ESG disclosures, external ratings, and clear communication for employees, investors, communities, and other stakeholders. It also brings operating sites and corporate teams into a shared approach to sustainability.
The role sits within a power producer whose generation mix is already strongly renewables-based, with hydropower as its largest source. CKPower is working to increase renewable electricity and support net zero emissions by 2050. The specialist helps make those ambitions measurable, credible, and relevant to business decisions, while linking environmental improvements with community programs in Thailand and Laos.
This suits someone with substantial sustainability or ESG experience who can work confidently with reporting frameworks, analyze performance data, and turn technical findings into useful plans and communications. A collaborative, organized approach will matter when aligning diverse functions and operational sites.
Job FAQs
What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?
The role combines corporate sustainability strategy and delivery across CKPower and its subsidiaries. It tracks targets and performance, coordinates sustainability initiatives with functions and power plant teams, and identifies projects that can reduce environmental impacts and business costs.
A major strand is ESG disclosure: preparing sustainability reports and submissions for frameworks and ratings programs such as GRI, IFRS S1 and S2, CDP, S&P Global CSA, and FTSE Russell. The specialist also coordinates external assurance and supports communications about progress and results.
Key learning opportunities for this job
The position could deepen expertise in sustainability disclosure through direct work with GRI, IFRS S1 and S2, CDP, S&P Global CSA, and FTSE Russell criteria. It also offers exposure to assurance processes and how ESG information is gathered across a power business.
Working with operational sites, finance, supply chain, safety, HR, and communications could build practical knowledge of how sustainability goals are translated into company processes. The posting mentions training employees, though it does not specify formal courses, certifications, or a mentorship program.
How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?
The posting seeks a bachelor's degree or higher in sustainability, environmental management, engineering, business, science, or a related field, with at least five years of relevant experience preferred. Experience in ESG reporting and ratings, sustainability management, stakeholder engagement, or ESG communications would be relevant.
A strong candidate would understand reporting standards and assessment frameworks, manage projects, and be able to assess data and turn findings into actions. Clear writing and storytelling skills are useful, as is the ability to work across functions and communicate in Thai and English, which the role's communication needs suggest.
Advice to stand out and make a successful application
Show how your work has moved from ESG analysis to a measurable change. Use specific examples of reporting cycles, ratings submissions, assurance, or operational projects, and explain your contribution and the outcome rather than listing frameworks alone.
For CKPower, connect your experience to a power producer with a large hydropower share and stated plans to raise renewable generation and support net zero by 2050. Be ready to discuss how you would coordinate data and action across corporate functions and operating sites, and communicate results credibly to investors, employees, and communities.
What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?
The role is likely to focus on ESG performance and accountability, particularly sustainability reporting, ratings, target tracking, and assurance. These processes can help CKPower assess progress against its commitments and communicate its performance using recognized frameworks.
Environmental priorities include identifying projects to reduce impacts and costs across power plant operations, in the context of a generation portfolio led by hydropower and the company's stated renewable electricity goals. The role also covers employee awareness and community-facing CSR programs, linking environmental work with social value in Thailand and Laos.
What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?
One likely challenge is gathering consistent, reliable sustainability data across subsidiaries, operational sites, and corporate functions for several reporting frameworks and rating programs. Different disclosure requirements and timelines can make coordination demanding.
The specialist will also need to translate technical standards into workable responsibilities for teams in operations, finance, supply chain, and other areas. Communicating progress credibly while identifying improvements that meet both environmental goals and business needs may require careful analysis and sustained engagement.
How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?
A typical day could include reviewing ESG data and report inputs, checking progress against targets, or preparing a response for a rating or disclosure framework. The specialist may then work with communications colleagues on how to explain results internally or externally.
Other days could involve coordinating with the Sustainability Committee or functional teams, preparing employee learning materials, or visiting a power plant to review a project with its site working team. The balance is likely to shift with reporting deadlines, assurance work, and implementation needs.
What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?
The role could build a broad profile across ESG disclosure, climate and environmental management, stakeholder communications, and sustainability programs in the utilities sector. Leading reporting and ratings processes may also develop expertise in standards that are increasingly used in corporate decision-making.
Because the specialist works across subsidiaries, corporate functions, and operating sites, there may be scope to take on wider strategy or program leadership over time. The posting does not specify a promotion path, so growth would depend on the organization's structure and the results of the work.
The main stakeholders you might be interacting with
Internal partners are likely to include the Sustainability Committee and working teams at power plant sites, along with colleagues in operations and maintenance, supply chain, finance, safety, HR, administration, and corporate communications. The role coordinates their input and helps align site-level work with company goals.
External interactions may include sustainability organizations and standards bodies, ESG rating and disclosure programs, and assurance providers. Investors and communities are also relevant audiences for the company's sustainability performance and CSR communications.
