Full job description

Help small businesses cut carbon, cut costs, and build a more sustainable Northern Ireland.

Are you looking to launch your career in sustainability and make a genuine difference?

Sustainable NI is looking for an Assistant Sustainability Adviser to join our team and support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Northern Ireland and the border region as they decarbonise, become more productive, and save money.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an early-career professional to gain hands-on experience across advisory work, project delivery, and stakeholder engagement, with structured mentoring and real scope for progression.

About the role

You'll provide direct support in the operational running of the E-DATA project (Enterprise Digitalisation and Transformation Alliance) — a major cross-border initiative funded by PEACEPLUS, helping SMEs modernise, innovate, and decarbonise.

In this role, you'll:

Advise and support SMEs on their decarbonisation journey
Contribute to sustainability reports and guidance documents
Coordinate stakeholder engagement and support workshops, events, and training
Provide administrative and project support
Draft tender submissions and funding proposals
Monitor policy developments and draft consultation responses on climate and sustainability issues

This is a hybrid role: two days per week in our Belfast office, combined with home working and regular travel across Northern Ireland and the border region.

Company Description

Sustainable Northern Ireland (Sustainable NI) is a not-for-profit organisation that supports organisations to become more sustainable. It directly supports a wide range of public sector organisations, including local councils, providing a strong platform for local and regional impact. In addition to working directly with public sector organisations, Sustainable NI provides advisory services that help businesses decarbonise, cut costs, and become more sustainable. The organisation focuses on evidence-based approaches, partnership working, and capacity-building to help organisations embed sustainability in their strategies and operations.

Qualifications

Relevant degree in sustainability, environmental science, public policy, planning, engineering or a related discipline.
Understanding of sustainable development principles and related policy or regulatory frameworks relevant to climate change and sustainability.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to draft reports, briefings, and stakeholder communications for diverse audiences.
Ability to critically evaluate information from a range of sources and apply logical reasoning to develop practical solutions.
Ability to work collaboratively in a small team, manage time effectively, work flexibly and balance multiple tasks and projects.
Experience managing, promoting, or running events is an advantage.
Interest in sustainability and willingness to develop expertise in local climate and sustainability issues in Northern Ireland.

Hours and benefits

We operate a 35-hour week (standard hours 9.00am–5.30pm, with some flexibility).

In return, you'll receive:

Salary in the region of £26,000 - £30,000 per annum (dependent on experience)
A 7.5% ethical employer pension contribution
25 days' annual leave, rising by one day per year of service up to a maximum of 30, plus public holidays
Two paid volunteering days per year
Structured mentoring from our Senior Sustainability Adviser, with clear scope for career progression

Closing date

Completed application forms must be returned to Sustainable NI by 12 noon, Friday 31 July 2026.

Applicants will be expected to complete an application form demonstrating how they meet the essential criteria for appointment.

Interviews are anticipated to take place w/c 31st August 2026 (subject to change).
