How to Apply for AI Solutions Engineer

at Environmental Resources Management

🏢 About Environmental Resources Management

Environmental Resources Management (ERM) is a global leader in sustainability consulting, uniquely positioned to drive the low-carbon transition and ESG integration for Fortune 500 clients. Working here means your AI solutions directly accelerate real-world environmental impact, not just corporate efficiency.

About This Role

As an AI Solutions Engineer at ERM, you'll bridge sustainability consulting and cutting-edge AI by building practical tools that reduce manual work and unlock higher-value advisory time. Your work will be deployed in live client projects, creating scalable accelerators that amplify ERM's impact across regions and sectors.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'd start by reviewing a new consulting challenge—say, automating ESG data collection for a client—then prototype a solution using Python, Streamlit, and low-code connectors. After a stand-up with the consulting team, you'd refine the tool based on feedback, deploy it via a CI/CD pipeline, and document it as a reusable accelerator for other projects.
