About your team: 

At Centrica Energy Storage +, our mission is to store it.    

Our onshore and offshore teams are united in their goal, to boost the UK’s energy security and drive down bills for customers. Rough, our North Sea storage facility, currently provides half of the UK’s gas storage – enough to heat 2.4 million homes over winter. But we’re not stopping there. We’ve got our sights set on transforming it into the world's largest hydrogen storage facility and creating a Net Zero connected energy hub in the Humber.

The role of Environmental & Sustainability Advisor involves providing environmental support to Centrica Energy Storage (CES+) to help achieve its legal, business, and corporate objectives. Key responsibilities include supporting the operation and maintenance of environmental management systems, reporting, and assurance processes in alignment with Centrica’s environmental policy. Additionally, the role requires implementing and maintaining compliance processes for Environmental Permits and the UK Emissions Trading Scheme Permits.

Centrica Energy Storage+ (CES+) is a key Business Unit within the Centrica group and operates large scale natural gas storage and production facilities in East Yorkshire, across its sites at Easington and an offshore platform in the North Sea. CES+ has energy transition ambitions, looking to create an integrated energy hub, not only to meet our own net zero ambition, but to provide infrastructure which supports UK energy security and regulatory energy transition commitments. It’s an exciting time to join us to help us with our ambitions.
