ESG Intern

Job Summary

Were looking for an ESG Intern who is genuinely curious about sustainability, not just someone who knows the theory. Youll work closely with our Environmental, Social, and Governance team on real initiatives that shape how the company operates responsibly. This is a hands-on role: youll analyze data, spot patterns, question assumptions, and help turn insight into action. We want someone who reads the textbook and then asks "but how does this actually play out on the ground"

What You Will Do

• Data Collection & Analysis: Gather and interpret data across environmental impact (energy, water, emissions), social programs (community engagement, diversity & inclusion), governance (compliance, ethics), and health & safety (training hours, injury rates) - and go beyond the numbers to explain what they mean.
• Research & Benchmarking: Track ESG trends, regulations, and best practices, and benchmark our performance against peers to surface where we can genuinely improve, not just where we look good on paper.
• ESG Strategy Support: Contribute ideas to strategy discussions - we want fresh perspectives, not just execution of existing plans.
• Reporting & Communication: Help build ESG reports, investor materials, and sustainability content that translates complex data into clear, compelling stories for different audiences.
• Project Support: Get involved in ESG projects and events from the ground up - from concept to delivery.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Finance, People & Culture, Marketing, and Projects & Asset Management to embed ESG thinking into everyday business decisions.
• Ad-Hoc & Administrative Support: Maintain ESG KPI trackers and build presentations for training sessions and investor-facing topics.

Who You Are

• Analytically sharp: You can collect, interpret, and make sense of complex or messy data - and youre comfortable digging in until the numbers actually tell a story.
• A creative, independent thinker: You dont just apply what you learned in class - you connect dots others miss, question the obvious approach, and bring original ideas to the table.
• Genuinely passionate about sustainability: ESG isnt just a resume line for you - you care about the environmental and social impact of business, and it shows in how you engage with the work.
• Curious and a fast learner: Youre energized by new topics, tools, and frameworks, and you go looking for answers rather than waiting to be handed them.
• A clear communicator: You can translate dense or technical findings into something a non-expert (or an investor) can actually understand.
• Proactive and collaborative: You take initiative, work well independently, and thrive in cross-functional team settings.
• Detail-oriented, without losing the big picture: You catch the small errors while still keeping sight of what the analysis is actually for.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in or a recent graduate of a bachelors or masters program - sustainability, environmental science/engineering, business, or a related field.
• Familiarity with ESG frameworks (e.g., GRI, TCFD) is a plus, but a genuine interest in learning them matters more than prior exposure.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word); experience with data or analytics tools is a bonus.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Prior internship, volunteer, or project experience in sustainability or ESG is preferred but not required - we care more about how you think than your resume line count.
