How to Apply for Infographic Designer

at Environmental Resources Management

🏢 About Environmental Resources Management

Environmental Resources Management (ERM) is a global sustainability consultancy that uniquely positions itself at the intersection of environmental science, business strategy, and data-driven solutions. Unlike generic design agencies, ERM focuses exclusively on accelerating low-carbon futures and advancing ESG priorities worldwide, offering designers the chance to work on projects with measurable environmental impact. Working here means contributing visual storytelling to complex sustainability challenges for major global clients.

About This Role

As an Infographic Designer at ERM's New Delhi office, you'll transform complex environmental data and sustainability concepts into compelling visual narratives that support client reports, presentations, and digital communications. This role is impactful because your designs will directly influence how corporations, governments, and stakeholders understand and act on critical environmental issues like climate change, resource management, and ESG performance.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might begin with a morning stand-up with project teams to understand new data sets or reporting requirements, followed by creating initial infographic concepts in Adobe Illustrator based on sustainability metrics. Afternoon could involve presenting draft designs for feedback, revising based on technical input from environmental specialists, and preparing final assets for both digital presentations and printed reports.
