Product Energy Consumption Data Leader

At Schneider Electric we are accelerating progress toward a more sustainable future by reducing our operational and value chain carbon and environmental footprint, and helping our customers do the same. We have set net-zero targets approved by the Science-Based Target initiative, with near-term and mid-term milestones.

Meeting sustainability targets and measuring progress relies on the availability of high-quality data related to the environmental impacts of products and systems, beyond product carbon footprint. Schneider Electric started its journey into Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) in 1996, by contributing to the development of the EIME LCA software. Since then, Schneider Electric set up an organization to produce LCAs for most of the product families in its portfolio and published the results of these LCAs under the environmental product declaration program named PEP Ecopassport, leading EPD program initiated in France, with a worldwide recognition.

Your Mission:

To further support our sustainability commitments, the Corporate Global Environment Sustainability Team is hiring a Product Energy Consumption Data Specialist. The successful candidate will support the Product Environmental Data Director in
