Analista de Sustentabilidade Jr

The day-to-day core of this role is environmental compliance management: keeping track of licence validity dates across Patrus' units, preparing renewals and legal requirements, so that no depot or terminal falls out of regulatory standing. Alongside that sits waste management, where the analyst controls process flows, supplier relationships and the chain-of-custody documentation that proves proper disposal or recycling. Beyond compliance, there is a clear analytical thread. You would monitor and refresh environmental indicators such as water, energy, GLP and recycling volumes, building controls and management reports that feed both internal decisions and external ESG disclosures. This includes supporting the emissions inventory and contributing data to sustainability reporting. A third, more cross-cutting mission is enabling audits and inspections, whether from regulators or from large logistics clients, by organising evidence and following up corrective action plans. Over time, the role is expected to push continuous improvement: regularisation of units, circular-economy programmes and less environmental impact across a fleet-heavy operation.

Because the role sits at the intersection of environmental compliance and ESG reporting, a junior hire here could gain unusually broad exposure for their level. You would learn how licensing regimes work in practice across multiple Brazilian states, Patrus operates in nine, which is a rare, transferable skill in environmental management. On the reporting side, the posting names GRI and the GHG Protocol, with CDP, SASB and TCFD listed as differentiators. Even modest involvement with those frameworks would let you build a portfolio of emissions inventories and sustainability reports early in your career. Power BI, mention as a plus, signals that data visualisation could also become part of your toolkit. Finally, the logistics context itself is a learning environment: waste traceability, reverse logistics and supply-chain environmental pressures are taught nowhere as well as inside an actual freight operator. Patrus' own corporate university and SEST SENAT partnership add structured training on top of that on-the-job learning.

The ideal profile is someone with a completed or in-progress degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Administration or a related field, plus some real exposure to ESG, corporate sustainability or environment work, the posting hints at three to five years being valued, though the junior title suggests they will trade some experience for the right technical foundation. Strong candidates will know the basics of GRI and the GHG Protocol, feel comfortable interpreting Brazilian environmental legislation, and, importantly, be able to turn raw data into a clear technical or executive report. Excel is explicitly required, and Power BI experience would set someone apart. Soft skills matter too. The role involves chasing documentation across 63 units and dealing with suppliers and auditors, so organisation, follow-through and calm communication are essential. Familiarity with logistics, transport, supply chain or large-client audits is a strong bonus; ambition to grow inside an industrial environment matters more than a polished sustainability pedigree.

Because Patrus explicitly frames its culture around people and trust, a generic sustainability CV will not land well here. Tailor your application toward environmental compliance and reporting in an operational, multi-site environment: mention any work with licences, waste manifests, indicator dashboards or emissions inventories, even if it was a university project or an internship. Be concrete about tools. State your Excel level clearly and, if you have used Power BI, GRI, GHG Protocol or client-audit preparation, put those keywords where a screener will see them. If you have any exposure to transport, logistics or supply chain, lead with it: it is a differentiator the posting itself calls out. In the cover letter, avoid repeating your CV. Instead, tell one short story about a compliance deadline you tracked or a dataset you turned into a useful report. Mention why a company whose product is moving freight across nine states is an interesting place to work on emissions and waste. That alignment with Patrus' reality will stand out more than another list of ESG acronyms.

This role is likely to concentrate on the environmental pillar of ESG, and specifically on the E that a freight company can actually control: licences, waste and resource consumption. Patrus moves fractional and full loads across a sprawling network, so the indicators the analyst tracks (water, energy, GLP, waste and recycling) are the raw material of its environmental performance story. The emissions inventory and sustainability reporting work points toward climate, but at the junior level this will probably be data collection and consolidation rather than strategy setting. The mention of CDP, SASB and TCFD as differentiators suggests the company is responding to pressure from the large industrial and retail clients whose goods it distributes, and those clients increasingly want carbon and waste data from their logistics providers. Circular-economy initiatives and unit regularisation round out the picture. In practice, the role helps turn scattered operational data from 63 units into a coherent, auditable environmental narrative, governance-adjacent work that supports the company's commercial relationships as much as its sustainability claims.

The biggest challenge is probably scale and dispersion. Patrus operates dozens of units across nine states, and managing licence renewals, waste documentation and indicator data across all of them requires disciplined follow-up. Deadlines are legal, not negotiable, and a missed renewal is a real business risk. A second challenge is data quality. Environmental indicators from depots and terminals may arrive late, incomplete or in inconsistent formats, and the analyst will often be the person reconciling them. Convincing operational colleagues that filling in the spreadsheet matters is a recurring, unglamorous task in this kind of role. Finally, there is the tension between ambition and seniority. As a junior, you may be asked to support emissions inventories and ESG reports built on frameworks like GRI or the GHG Protocol while having limited authority to change processes. Learning to influence without formal power, and to prioritise compliance when reporting demands compete for time, will be part of the growth curve.

A typical day in Contagem would likely start with a check on environmental indicators, updating spreadsheets, chasing missing data from units, or consolidating consumption figures for the monthly controls. Licence calendars and renewal paperwork would sit somewhere in the mix, depending on the season. Much of the week involves communication rather than quiet analysis. You might email or call unit managers about pending documentation, talk to waste suppliers about traceability, or prepare evidence packs ahead of an audit or client inspection. There will be meetings with the environmental or ESG team, and occasional support for an emissions-inventory or reporting update. Variability comes from the compliance calendar: a licence expiry, a regulatory inspection or a large client audit can suddenly reshape the priorities of the day. Otherwise, the rhythm is a predictable mix of data, documentation and follow-up, with office hours from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.

Given that this is explicitly a junior analyst position inside a large operational company, the most natural next step could be a mid-level environmental or ESG analyst role, taking ownership of the emissions inventory or the reporting cycle rather than supporting it. Patrus' size (over 2,000 direct employees and a corporate university) suggests internal mobility is realistic for someone who performs well. Skill-wise, the exposure to GRI, GHG Protocol, and potentially CDP, SASB and TCFD creates a pathway into corporate ESG reporting, a field with strong demand in Brazil and abroad. Equally, mastering environmental licensing across multiple states opens doors into compliance and environmental management roles in industry or consultancy. The logistics angle is a quieter asset. Supply-chain sustainability and scope 3 emissions are increasingly central to corporate climate strategies, and someone who understands how a freight network actually operates will be well placed to specialise there later. The junior title is a starting line, not a ceiling.

Internally, the closest working relationships would likely be with the environmental or ESG team, unit managers and operational supervisors at the depots, and the administrative staff who handle documentation. Because the role spans 63 units, much of the interaction will be remote and process-driven, requests, reminders and clarifications rather than daily collaboration. Externally, the analyst can expect contact with waste and recycling suppliers, environmental consultants, and regulatory bodies or licensing authorities. Auditors, both regulators and the large industrial and retail clients that Patrus serves, are a key stakeholder group, since the role explicitly supports audit preparation and evidence organisation. There may also be interaction with clients' sustainability or procurement teams when environmental data feeds into their supply-chain reporting. That makes the role a small but visible interface between Patrus' operations and the ESG expectations of the companies whose goods it moves.
