As the central figure for environmental performance across the UK and Ireland, you will take ownership of the regional sustainability roadmap for iconic spirits brands. Your day-to-day involves bridging the gap between global strategy and site-level operations, focusing on energy optimization, water stewardship, and waste reduction. You will act as the technical guardian of the Environmental Management System, ensuring all distilleries and operational sites meet evolving regulatory standards.
This role is critical because it directly translates the Proof Positive strategy into tangible results within one of the world’s most heritage-rich industries. By tackling the carbon-intensive nature of scotch and gin production, you will help protect the natural resources—like peatlands and watersheds—that are fundamental to the product’s identity and future survival. It is an opportunity to drive deep decarbonization where tradition meets modern climate science.
This suits someone who possesses a strong engineering background and a practical mindset for manufacturing, comfortably navigating both the boardroom and the production floor. You should be a collaborative problem-solver ready to influence stakeholders across a diverse geographic estate.
