About the Role
At Cambridge Consultants we are on a mission to use deep tech to transform business, society and the planet. As our business continues to grow, we are seeking to expand our Sustainability team with an intern who has relevant environmental science expertise. The placement will last for 12 months, with successful candidates available to start between May and October 2027. This role provides experience within a multidisciplinary environment and offers the opportunity to build close working relationships with deep technical specialists, designers, strategy consultants and engineers. There is no fixed deadline for applications as recruitment is on a rolling basis; the advert will close once the position is filled, so early application is encouraged.

This role involves contributing to real advisory and technology development projects for clients facing technology challenges related to net zero, climate resilience, or environmental regulations. Cambridge Consultants conducts an extraordinary breadth of projects, and you may also have the opportunity to apply your skills and environmental science expertise to projects beyond those with a core sustainability focus.

Key responsibilities include:
- Contributing to client projects, applying your skills to sustainability challenges across sectors such as energy transition, telecoms, healthcare, and the built environment.
- Supporting analysis, prototyping, and communication of multidisciplinary solutions that deliver measurable environmental or social impact.
- Collaborating across disciplines with engineers, scientists, designers, and domain experts to represent environmental and social impacts.
- Presenting findings and ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, including drafting report content, producing diagrams, and building PowerPoint presentations.
- Participating in internal communities of practice and contributing to the growing knowledge base in sustainability.

Experience
We welcome applicants studying towards a degree in relevant subjects such as Environmental Science, Atmospheric Science, Geophysics, Earth Sciences, or Physical Geography. Related degrees covering similar content are also encouraged to apply. Experience with hands-on prototyping of physical or digital systems is advantageous but not essential. This could include personal projects such as building computer games, websites, or crafts.

About you
You have a strong interest in using technology to solve climate challenges and enjoy working collaboratively as part of a team. You are passionate about current technology and keep up to date with new developments. You enjoy conducting secondary research to broaden your knowledge beyond your core focus area. You approach problems inquisitively and are willing to tackle complex challenges with innovative and imaginative solutions. You are keen to learn new skills and open to new approaches. Good oral and written communication skills are essential for effective interaction within Cambridge Consultants and with client organisations.

Qualifications
Currently studying towards a relevant degree as described above. No additional qualifications are required beyond your academic progress and enthusiasm for sustainability and technology.
