This specialist will own the ESG software platform and bring environmental and sustainability information from separate business systems into a shared source. The work connects data analysis with practical system setup, helping teams move away from manual spreadsheet processes and produce clearer management reporting.
At Kanadevia Inova, consistent ESG information can help explain the impacts and performance of projects that turn waste into energy, heat and other resources. Reliable data supports oversight of the company’s sustainability commitments and makes environmental information more usable across engineering, procurement, finance and sustainability teams. The role is therefore about building the information foundations behind the company’s waste-to-value business, rather than setting its sustainability strategy.
This suits someone who enjoys making complex data usable, has experience with analytics or business platforms, and can work patiently with colleagues to resolve gaps, improve data flows and help users adopt a new system.
Job FAQs
What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?
The role centers on the ESG software platform: supporting its implementation and rollout, managing users, and improving how it works over time. A key aim is to bring environmental and sustainability data from different sources into one reliable solution.
The specialist would check for missing or inconsistent information, work with data owners to resolve issues, and help automate data flows with IT, Finance, Procurement, Engineering and Sustainability. System testing, user training, visualizations and management reporting are also part of the remit.
Key learning opportunities for this job
The position could build practical experience in ESG data management, including data quality, governance and the processes behind sustainability reporting. Working across multiple business functions may also develop knowledge of how environmental information is collected and used in an engineering and project-delivery company.
The posting mentions training and professional development support, but does not specify formal certifications or a mentorship program. Hands-on exposure to ERP systems, Power BI, SQL or Power Query may be possible depending on the platform and the candidate’s starting skills.
How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?
The posting points to experience in data analysis, business analytics, reporting or process improvement, along with confidence using Excel. Familiarity with ERP or business platforms and digital transformation projects would be relevant; Power BI, SQL, Power Query, data quality or master data knowledge are useful additions.
A sustainability background is welcomed rather than required. The work likely suits someone who can investigate discrepancies carefully, explain data needs to colleagues in different functions, and stay organized while supporting system changes and user adoption.
Advice to stand out and make a successful application
Use your application to show how you have improved a reporting process or made data more reliable. Give a specific example of tracing a gap to its source, working with data owners to resolve it, or reducing manual spreadsheet work.
Connect your experience to the tools named in the posting, such as Excel, Power BI, SQL or ERP platforms, while being clear about your actual level of skill.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?
The role is likely to focus on the data infrastructure for ESG reporting, rather than deciding environmental targets or managing operational projects. Bringing information into a centralized system and improving its quality could help Kanadevia Inova track and report sustainability topics across its business.
The company describes work in waste-to-X and renewable gas, including converting waste into resources such as energy and heat. The specialist may support visibility of relevant environmental information, though the posting does not identify particular metrics, targets or reporting frameworks.
What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?
Data may come from teams and systems with different definitions, formats and levels of completeness. Reconciling those differences while maintaining a consistent central dataset could require sustained coordination with data owners and clear decisions about governance.
Moving away from manual Excel processes also involves testing the platform, supporting users and fitting automated flows to existing business practices. The posting does not name the software, existing data maturity or implementation stage, so the scale of these challenges is uncertain.
How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?
A day could involve reviewing ESG data for gaps, checking inconsistencies with the relevant data owners, and working with IT or business teams on platform changes or data integration. The balance would likely shift between analysis and coordination.
Other tasks may include testing system updates, preparing visualizations or management reporting, and helping colleagues understand how to use the platform. The role appears to connect several departments, so priorities may vary as rollout and data-quality needs develop.
What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?
The role could lead to deeper expertise in ESG data systems, reporting processes and business data governance. Experience working across Sustainability, IT, Finance, Procurement and Engineering may also provide a broad view of how corporate information systems support environmental oversight.
Further development could include advanced analytics or platform administration, depending on the tools adopted and the scope of future projects. The company mentions support for professional growth and training, but the posting does not describe a defined promotion path.
The main stakeholders you might be interacting with
The closest collaborators are likely to include Sustainability, IT, Finance, Procurement and Engineering, as named in the posting. Sustainability colleagues may clarify reporting needs, while data owners in business teams help explain source information and resolve gaps.
The specialist may also work with platform users during rollout, testing and training, and share visualizations or management reports with relevant decision-makers. External stakeholders are not specified.
