Sustainability Manager
Description:
The SME Environmental & Infrastructure Solutions will act as LCPLs on-ground problem diagnostician for environmental and infrastructure-linked projects.
This role is for someone who can enter partially functional systems, identify root-cause issues across technical, operational, and regulatory layers, and stitch together custom, workable solutions within real-world constraints.
While treatment plants (STP/ETP/WTP/CETP) form one of the active project areas, this role is not limited to treatment systems and is not a design-only position.
The emphasis is on solutioning, course correction, and execution support.
Key Responsibilities:Problem Diagnosis & Solution Stitching:- Assess underperforming or stalled environmental and infrastructure systems and identify root-cause issues.
- Diagnose problems spanning design gaps, execution flaws, operational inefficiencies, regulatory non-compliance, and vendor failures.
- Develop custom, context-specific solutions rather than standard designs or template responses.
- Balance technical feasibility, cost constraints, timelines, and regulatory requirements while recommending fixes.
Treatment Plants (Focused but Limited Scope):- Evaluate performance issues in STPs, ETPs, WTPs, and CETPs as part of ongoing mandates.
- Identify causes of non-compliance, operational instability, capacity mismatch, or poor output quality.
- Recommend pragmatic interventions (process tweaks, retrofits, operational corrections, vendor changes, interim solutions).
- Support troubleshooting during commissioning, stabilization, or post-handover phases.
Execution & On-Ground Support:- Conduct site visits to validate actual conditions versus documented plans.
- Work closely with contractors, operators, government officials, and internal teams to implement corrective actions.
- Flag execution risks early and recommend mitigation strategies.
- Provide technical backing during reviews, audits, and inspections.
Advisory & Decision Support:- Translate complex technical findings into clear, decision-ready inputs for government stakeholders and LCPL leadership.
- Support preparation of notes, recommendations, and action plans (not heavy reports or design documents).
- Act as LCPLs technical voice in problem-resolution discussions.
Eligibility & Experience:Education:- Degree in Engineering (Environmental, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, or related discipline).
Experience:- Hands-on experience working with environmental infrastructure, utilities, industrial systems, or public-sector projects.
- Proven exposure to problem-solving in live projects, not only design or consulting environments.
