Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today. The Estate Development team is about to embark on delivering our new Estate Plan. The plan sets out to develop an estate of the right scale and configuration to underpin a campus that is both financially and environmentally sustainable. The quality of the estate will continue to be a critical factor in attracting students, fostering a sense of belonging and sustaining positive outcomes for our students and research activity. All new projects will look to advance the University’s net zero ambitions, deliver greater biodiversity across campus, expand electrification and upgrade infrastructure to make sure the University is ready for the challenges ahead. The Environmental Sustainability and Energy Team is a small but high impact team; in 2025 it achieved Eco Campus Platinum and ISO50001 Certification and supported the institution to reach 15th place in the People and Planet University League. We have an exciting opportunity for an individual to join this driven and passionate team to lead on the implementation of two key sustainability delivery plans. We are looking for an Environmental Sustainability Manager who will be responsible for coordinating and delivering numerous workstreams under the Liverpool John Moores University Climate and Sustainability Plan. You will work to embed environmental sustainability into university day-to-day operations and support the university’s ambition of achieving Net Zero Carbon. The role will require flexibility across all sustainability themes, but key responsibilities will be to implement the Biodiversity and Active and Sustainable Travel Delivery Plans and to support the maintenance of the Environmental and Energy Management System (ISO14001/ISO50001 aligned). You will be based within Estate Development but will be expected to engage with key stakeholders and collaborate across university professional, academic and student communities to coordinate and drive activity to deliver continuous performance improvement. You will have a degree (or equivalent professional experience) in Ecology, Environmental Science, Sustainability, Natural Resource Management, or a related discipline; strong knowledge of biodiversity and ecological monitoring, including key species groups (birds, pollinators, bats); experience of ecological survey design, coordination, data collection, analysis, and reporting; have knowledge of relevant UK and regional policy frameworks relating to biodiversity, green infrastructure, sustainable transport, and climate resilience; have strong project management and organisational skills with the ability to deliver complex projects to budget and timescale. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are essential with the ability to engage and influence diverse stakeholders. In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies. This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do. If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you. LJMU is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds and communities irrespective of age, transgender status, disability, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity and religion or belief.  All our appointments are made on merit.
