Course Overview

Sustainability has become a fundamental part of protecting the world we live in and, as such, the career opportunities for qualified specialists are far-reaching and highly rewarding.

Sustainability consultants can be found all across the globe, in a number of different organisations. Many work in big engineering consultancy firms which build big pieces of infrastructure, such as power stations, tunnels, roads and railways, where they assess the environmental and social impact of these developments and come up with plans to mitigate the effects.

Other consultants may work at the business level, helping companies to reduce their own environmental and social impact caused by the execution of their business activities, whilst many find themselves working in the public sector such as with local authorities.

Regardless of where in the world you want to live and work, there is a need for sustainability expertise worldwide and, with increasing legislation from governments and industry’s own desire to remain competitive, this need is only going to become more prominent
