This specialist helps Ravago build reliable ESG and carbon information across a large, international industrial group. The work centres on making emissions and product footprint data consistent and traceable, while improving how teams collect, check, and use it for reporting and customer needs.
The role connects corporate sustainability reporting with the realities of polymer, chemical, and building-material production. Scope 1-3 accounting, product carbon footprints, waste and circularity, and energy and resource efficiency give the data a practical purpose: understanding environmental impacts across varied operations and products. Its attention to documentation and assurance also supports credible disclosure as CSRD requirements shape reporting expectations.
This suits someone with a technical background and a careful, analytical approach, who can work confidently with spreadsheets and collaborate with plant and business teams. Someone interested in developing further expertise in carbon accounting, product assessment, and potentially life cycle assessment could find the combination of data work and industrial context particularly relevant.
Job FAQs
What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?
The role supports annual ESG and sustainability reporting, including CSRD-related work, by gathering and analysing information from across the group. A central aim is to keep Scope 1-3 emissions and product carbon footprint data accurate, consistent, and traceable.
The specialist also examines circularity, waste, energy, and resource-efficiency information, checks for inconsistencies, and follows up with plants and business teams. Maintaining product carbon footprints and responding to customer requests connect internal measurement with external information needs.
Over time, the role may help improve and automate data collection and reporting processes, with possible development toward life cycle assessment.
Key learning opportunities for this job
The position could build practical expertise in corporate carbon accounting, product carbon footprints, and ESG reporting under CSRD. Working with data across manufacturing sites and business areas may also deepen understanding of how environmental measures are gathered and verified in industrial settings.
The posting identifies life cycle assessment as a potential area for future development, alongside circularity, energy, and resource efficiency. Collaboration with the Group Sustainability Manager and plant teams could offer insight into assurance processes, customer data requests, and the practical limits of product-level environmental information. The listing does not specify formal training or certification support.
How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?
The stated profile is a degree or background in engineering, environmental sciences, chemistry, or a related technical field, ideally with industrial experience. Familiarity with Scope 1-3 accounting, product carbon footprints, and ESG reporting would be relevant; knowledge of LCA and resource efficiency is valued.
Strong analytical and data-management skills matter, particularly accuracy, documentation, and traceability. The role also calls for structured follow-up and collaboration across functions, strong Excel skills, and fluent English. Microsoft Copilot and Power Automate are listed as useful assets rather than core requirements.
Advice to stand out and make a successful application
Use the application to show how you have handled environmental or operational data from collection through validation and reporting. Give a concrete example of resolving inconsistent figures, documenting assumptions, or improving traceability, and explain your contribution rather than presenting only a team outcome.
If you have worked on Scope 1-3 inventories or product carbon footprints, specify the methods, boundaries, data sources, and product or site context. If your direct PCF experience is limited, connect relevant LCA, energy, waste, or industrial analysis work to the role's needs. Mention Excel and any practical automation experience, including Power Automate, where applicable.
What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?
The role is likely to focus on making environmental performance measurable across Ravago's polymers, chemicals, and building materials activities. Its clearest themes are Scope 1-3 emissions, product carbon footprints, waste and circularity, energy, and resource efficiency.
ESG reporting and CSRD support add a governance and accountability dimension, with attention to auditable records, consistent methods, and assurance documentation. Product footprint work could also help answer customer questions about manufactured products, though the posting does not describe specific reduction targets or named sustainability programmes.
What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?
A likely challenge is collecting comparable, dependable data across a group operating in many locations and industrial activities. Plants and business teams may use different systems or have varying levels of data maturity, so the specialist will need to identify gaps and follow up without losing traceability.
Product carbon footprints can also involve complex boundaries, assumptions, and input data. Balancing reporting deadlines, customer requests, assurance requirements, and process improvements may require careful prioritisation. The posting signals potential automation and future LCA work, but does not specify the tools or methods already in place.
How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?
A typical day could include reviewing incoming emissions or resource data, checking calculations and supporting records, and following up with a plant or business contact about missing or inconsistent information. The specialist may also update product carbon footprint files or prepare figures and documentation for ESG reporting.
Some time could be spent coordinating with the Group Sustainability Manager, responding to customer data requests, and improving spreadsheets or collection workflows. The mix is likely to vary around reporting cycles, assurance activity, and requests from different operations.
What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?
The role could develop deeper expertise in corporate emissions accounting, product carbon footprints, ESG disclosure, and the data controls that support assurance. Exposure to plants and varied business activities may also build a stronger understanding of sustainability measurement in industrial production.
The posting points to possible future involvement in life cycle assessment and process automation. With experience, the specialist could take on broader ownership of reporting or product assessment work, though specific promotion paths and training arrangements are not stated.
The main stakeholders you might be interacting with
The Group Sustainability Manager is the clearest day-to-day counterpart, with the specialist supporting group reporting and carbon data. Plant teams and business functions are important contributors and partners in checking figures, clarifying methods, and improving the quality of information.
The role may also interact with colleagues handling customer requests, as product carbon footprint information is part of the work. ESG reporting and assurance processes could involve other corporate functions, although the posting does not name specific departments or external assurance providers.
