How to Apply for Environmental Software Implementation Consultant

at Environmental Resources Management

🏢 About Environmental Resources Management

Environmental Resources Management (ERM) is a global leader in sustainability consulting, uniquely positioned at the intersection of environmental strategy and business transformation. Working here means contributing to tangible climate action and ESG advancement for major organizations worldwide, not just providing theoretical advice.

About This Role

This Environmental Software Implementation Consultant role involves the full lifecycle implementation of EHS&S Management Information Systems (EMIS) for global clients, from requirements analysis to post-deployment support. You'll directly enable organizations to track and improve their environmental performance through technology, making sustainability data actionable.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve configuring EMIS modules for a client's specific compliance needs, analyzing data migration requirements from legacy systems, and collaborating with consultant teams to ensure the technical solution supports their sustainability strategy. You could be troubleshooting a production issue for one client while designing test plans for another's new implementation.
