However, the focus of the role will differ according to the type of organisation worked for and remit set. For example:

Environmental managers working for construction companies typically work on construction sites, ensuring that environmental legislation and best practices are complied with and that targets are achieved. (Find out more about working as a graduate environmental adviser or manager in construction.)
If you are at a local authority, you might be applying for funding or grants, rolling out initiatives and engaging with charities and community groups.

Claire Grainger, an environment manager in the steel industry, explained her job to us as: ‘I’m the main liaison point between the business and the regulator to ensure we remain compliant. If we do have issues, my team works on improvement plans to ensure we return to compliance, and work with project teams on the schemes being implemented. We also look at the future legislation and complete a lot of risk analysis. My role also includes an element of pushing environmental concerns up the agenda when there are a lot of competing priorities.’
