The vacancy
Are you currently working across retrofit or environmental practices within the housing sector, and looking for an exciting new role within an organisation committed to improving lives? If so, our brand-new Decarbonisation Manager role could be the perfect job for you…
Longhurst Group is a leading housing Group across the Midlands & East of England, committed to enhancing communities and improving the lives of both our colleagues and customers. With a mission to provide quality, safe, affordable housing that build great foundations for our customers, our Environment & Sustainability team are essential for delivering and achieving our Net Zero ambitions across our portfolio.
As a Decarbonisation Manager at Longhurst Group, you will play a pivotal role in driving our efforts to minimise carbon emissions and enhance sustainability across our organisation. Your responsibilities will include developing and implementing comprehensive decarbonisation strategies, overseeing retrofit projects, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards. Further key responsibilities are listed below:
Our Decarbonisation Manager opportunity is a hybrid position, contracted to 36.25 hours per week. To us, this means some time working from home with an expectation of some presence in either our Rushden, Peterborough or Boston office on a weekly basis (we are open to discussion around how this is built into working weeks). A large portion of our Environment & Sustainability team are hybrid workers across our geography too.
In order to be successful in application for our Decarbonisation Manager role, you’ll need proven experience in developing and implementing decarbonisation strategies in a similar role alongside strong project management skills, with the ability to lead numerous initiatives at the same time. Having a strong understanding of the relevant environmental regulations, standards and reporting requirements is crucial.
This is a hugely exiting time to join Longhurst Group – not only are we continuously striving to achieve better results for our customers, but the Social Housing sector is at a crucial point with new measures, legislations and standards coming into effect imminently. Our Decarbonisation Manager opportunity will spearhead strategies to advance retrofit and decarbonisation, positioning Longhurst Group as a leader within the sector. We offer a supportive and inclusive working environment that values your contributions, along with access to ongoing professional development opportunities, ensuring your skills remain at the cutting edge of the industry.
