What this role is

Senior individual contributor who leads sustainability analysis and program execution across energy or mining operations. At the Principal Support Specialist (S5) level, the role owns function-wide support practice, program-level and systemic support problems, and drives support strategy across the function. Subject-matter authority; shapes the practice.

What this level does

Create the procedures, templates and data-collection methods used across the organization for new or substantially revised sustainability frameworks, then embed them into the ESG data system and workflows
Resolve the most complex reporting problems — multi-framework data reconciliation, methodology changes affecting historical comparability, and cross-site inconsistencies — that others escalate
Serve as the recognized specialist on ESG reporting workflows, contributing to how data validation, governance and framework-mapping techniques are performed firm-wide
Act as working lead and facilitator for the full submission program, guiding analysts and site contributors and setting the standard for evidence quality
Develop and deliver guidance and training on new reporting methods so contributors can apply them consistently across sites

Knowledge applied: Highly skilled specialist in ESG reporting workflows; contributes to the creation of new procedures, templates and validation/governance methods within that area.
Complexity & problem solving: Resolves complex, escalated reporting problems and develops the concepts and techniques used for multi-framework reconciliation and methodology change.
Collaboration & interaction: Acts as working lead and facilitator across the submission program; provides guidance and training that influences how peers and contributors report.
Typical experience: 6+ years; expert in the sustainability-reporting specialty.

Skills at this level

ESG framework submission preparation: — Compiles and populates annual submissions against sustainability and responsible-mining performance standards such as Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM), GRI, SASB, ICMM, GISTM and TCFD/TNFD, mapping collected data to the required disclosure lines.
Sustainability data collection & validation: — Gathers energy-use, waste-management, carbon-footprint and regulatory-compliance data from site and corporate teams, then checks it for missing fields, unit errors and outliers against source records before reporting.
ESG data systems operation: — Operates dedicated ESG data reporting/management systems (e.g., Intelex) to enter, validate and extract sustainability data through the established collection and reporting workflows.
Cross-functional input coordination: — Coordinates with site teams, corporate functions and external partners to secure reporting inputs on schedule and reconcile conflicting data definitions between contributors.
Reporting-calendar & deadline management: — Tracks submission tasks, priorities and deadlines across multiple contributors and provides progress status against the annual sustainability reporting calendar.
Data-quality & governance practice: — Applies and improves data validation and governance procedures for sustainability reporting, defining the checks and audit trail that keep reported metrics traceable to source.
Energy audit data support: — Assembles and organizes the data inputs behind energy audits, capturing building-systems and industrial-process energy usage for analysis of efficiency opportunities.
Reporting procedure adaptation: — Adjusts and creates data-collection methods, templates and mappings when new frameworks, changed disclosure requirements or sites without an established process arise.
Adaptability to evolving standards: — Keeps pace with changing sustainability standards and reporting expectations, adjusting workflows and managing multiple concurrent reporting priorities and deadlines.
Contributor guidance & training: — Explains and trains site and corporate contributors on how sustainability data should be captured and how new reporting methods are applied, so returns are consistent across sites.

Pay across the ladder

Sustainability (Energy / Mining) — median with , by . Real canon data.

National-base pricing — this family's function differential is pending review, so dollar levels are not function-adjusted (level-over-level % is unaffected).

Pay figures are modeled estimates from our market equation — level-differentiated, with honest-wide bands. They refresh as new leveling evidence lands; treat per-role dollars as directional.

Demand — is the field growing, or just turning over?

The Job Swatch

Lead Sustainability Specialist

Sustainability (Energy / Mining)

The swatch is JobFrame's core primitive: a hueset deterministically by the role's superfunction, the profileKey as its color code, the level ladder, and a content fingerprint. Two swatches that look alike are alike.

Because every role carries computable coordinates, similarity, leveling, and pricing become measurable instead of arguable— the whole point of "Pantone for jobs."

Structural

structural@1

Where it sits— position in the work taxonomy + level (weighted Gower, level > function > focus).

Content

What it's about— a fingerprint over the role's tasks & capabilities.

Two roles can sit far apart structurally yet be close in content — that gap is itself a signal.

3-state matching

How any two swatches compare — a real distance in coordinate space, resolved to a calibrated verdict (never a fake "94% match").

How to read this profile

Every number here is traceable — to a named source, a stated method, and an as-of date — and each value is labeled by how we know it: observed from data, computed by a model, projected forward, or governed canon. Nothing is a black box, and nothing is invented to fill a gap.

The principles behind the numbers

Ranges, not false precision

Pay is P10 · median · P90, never a single misleading number.

Three honest states, never a fake %

Role matches resolve to confident / review / no-match — a calibrated verdict, not a made-up percentage.

Provenance on every value

Each number carries whether it's observed, computed, projected, or canon — so you always know how much to lean on it.

Gaps shown as gaps

When a figure isn't available at the grain you need, we say so — we don't fabricate a number to fill the cell.

Frozen, versioned editions

Pay and coordinate editions are pinned, so a comparison you make today still means the same thing next quarter.

Privacy by min-N

Any aggregate over people is suppressed below a minimum count, so no individual is identifiable.
