Principal Advisor – Accreditation & Integrity Toitu Envirocare

We are Toitu Envirocare (Enviro-Mark Solutions Limited), and chances are you've already interacted with our brands – Toitu carbonzero, Toitu carbonreduce, or Enviro-Mark.

You may have enjoyed carbonzero certified Yealands Wine or Steinlager beer, used climate positive certified Ecotricity electricity, cleaned using Enviro-Mark certified Eco Planet products or at least know friends or family who have.

You may have wondered at times how organisations like The Warehouse Group, Canterbury University and Westpac manage their carbon emissions.

The short answer is, it's our people.

We are proudly New Zealand's leading carbon reduction solution; however, our work isn't done yet!

Our aim is to encourage more organisations to start their journey with us to make New Zealand and the world more sustainable.

Intrigued?

We are looking for a sustainability and accreditation expert to lead our internal sustainability strategy and engagements, and the accreditations that are the core of our reputation for integrity.

This is a permanent position, preferably based in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch.

Key responsibilities include the following :

Leading a positive relationship with our accreditation body and other ESG initiatives, ensuring that relevant requirements are met

Developing and managing delivery of Toitu's accreditations strategy, in alignment with the business's strategic goals

Determining programme changes needed to align with relevant standards and any impacts these may have on existing accreditations

Overseeing the maintenance of Toitu's quality management system

Building external collaboration that drives standards development and alignment with relevant international standards

About you

You will be highly organised and proactive, and possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to motivate people across Toitu to meet and exceed accreditation requirements.

The incumbent may be required to travel from time to time to support the activities of Toitu Envirocare.

A fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to be part of a busy team making a difference to New Zealand.
