Principal Environmental Engineering Advisor
The Organisation
BG Advance is one of the major business divisions of BG Group providing the functional and technical excellence that supports all our activities. With a firm emphasis on developing best practice and improved standards and capabilities, BG Advance keeps us at the cutting edge of industry performance as we focus on our business objectives and long-term plans.
Position Summary
At BG Group we recognise our responsibility to reduce our emissions, as well as the risks and opportunities that climate change can present. With an extensive understanding of engineering principles, you will play a pivotal part in driving critical energy efficiency improvements across the business to save money, protect the environment and enhance our reputation. You will be a leading champion in helping BG Group deliver its stated energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction target and support the development of new programmes to enhance existing activities and anticipate emerging risk.
Working with businesses across the group you will support assets across the oil and gas value chain to find practical solutions to environmental issues and ensure they not only comply with internal standards but go beyond them wherever possible. This includes the identification and implementation of best available technique for energy efficiency and general environmental management within new developments to ensure a process of continuous improvement in design. You will also work with existing operations globally to support asset based teams identify practical means of managing their environmental emissions. With an eye to the future, you will also play a critical part in shaping our rapidly emerging Research and Development programme to identify next generation management techniques and technology.
You will therefore have the ability to identify potential environmental engineering risks to the business across all time horizons and develop pragmatic strategies and the business case to achieve successful outcomes and mitigate the risks. Given the need for integrated solutions with our businesses and their priorities, you will have exposure to all levels of management and disciplines within the group to promote best practice and inspire a shared commitment across the business.
