Make it happen

As a sustainability manager at Royal BAM, you will be part of a specialised Strategy Team advising our Executive Committee and senior leadership on our strategic direction. Sustainability is a core component of BAM’s strategy with a focus on social and environmental themes like social value, human rights, carbon emissions, circularity, climate adaptation and nature.

We are looking to expand our team with a sustainability manager to enhance our response to sustainability trends and maintain our industry-leading position. In this role, you will facilitate knowledge sharing, coordinate initiatives, and support the implementation of BAM’s sustainability strategy. You will work with experts on key sustainability topics, generate management information, and help balancing commercial and sustainability interests. You will also shape the company’s strategy by managing strategic initiatives and responding dynamically to new situations and demands.

In this role, you will deal with these responsibilities:

• You establish and maintain collaborative relationships with internal and external stakeholders on various sustainability topics;
• You lead BAM’s participation and submission in sustainability benchmarks (e.g. CDP and Ecovadis);
• You review sustainability data and translate that into BAM’s sustainability narrative, for example in quarterly reports and BAM’s Annual Report;
• You work together with our communications team to keep BAM’s website and internal intranet up to date;
• Together with the team you inform management on progress against targets and advise management on future target setting and strategy development

Your team

The team you will work in consists of three colleagues who all work on the strategy in the field of sustainability. It is a small department that works independently to a large extent, but also in close collaboration with various sustainability stakeholders across the business. The role is based at BAM’s headquarters in Bunnik, but we offer the flexibility to work partly remote.
