About Sustainable NI

Sustainable NI is a charity dedicated to promoting and supporting sustainable development across Northern Ireland. We work with councils, government, and businesses to influence policy, deliver projects, and inspire change through education, advocacy, and practical solutions.

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 to how small businesses operate? 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 to our Senior Sustainability Adviser, with day-to-day involvement 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. You’ll also support other Sustainable NI activities including delivering training, preparing consultation responses and drafting stakeholder communications.
