🏢 About Environmental Resources Management

Environmental Resources Management (ERM) is a global leader in sustainability consulting, uniquely positioned to drive the transition to a low-carbon economy. With a strong presence in South and Southeast Asia, ERM offers the opportunity to work on high-impact projects that shape corporate climate strategies and ESG priorities worldwide.

About This Role

As a Climate Consultant, you will lead sustainability and climate projects across South and Southeast Asia, including GHG emissions reduction, net-zero roadmaps, and SBTi alignment. Your work will directly support companies in achieving their climate goals and responding to global sustainability indices, making a tangible impact on corporate environmental performance.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a client call to review GHG data collection progress, followed by analyzing emissions data in Excel to identify reduction opportunities. Afternoon could involve drafting a CDP response section in Thai and preparing a presentation for an SBTi workshop, then coordinating with junior consultants on a sustainability report. You’ll likely end the day by researching new climate policies in the region to inform client strategies.
