Business Development Specialist
Addressing climate change, meeting targets such as net zero and creating a sustainable future for humanity are among the biggest challenges that society faces today. Scientific measurement plays a key role across the board, to understand the Earth system, to identify the potential for innovation, to assuring innovations do deliver as intended. To increase our understanding of the climate system, we need to measure it; to assess progress on greenhouse gas emissions, we need to measure them; and to assure that low carbon innovations are working, we need to measure them. Whether you’re talking about length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount or the brightness of light, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) sets the standards by which these things are all measured.
As the UK’s National Metrology Institute, NPL is an internationally respected and independent centre of excellence in research, development and knowledge transfer in measurement science. Its resources include over 900 scientific experts, 36,000m² of laboratories and a suite of unique facilities. We work with government, industry and other stakeholders to ensure that they can rely on what they are measuring.
The Environment team identifies and develops our Environment strategy through which we work with our scientists to engage stakeholders, identify new science opportunities, build our scientific capabilities and to support the delivery so that we create impact from science.
This role is a member of the Environment team in Partnerships Directorate, contributing to the development of a pipeline of opportunities and solutions and delivering growth in sales against targets set in the NPL business plan. The role holder will have a great opportunity in learning NPL’s capability across environmental science, with the potential to work across atmospheric monitoring and emission measurements, to climate and Earth Observation, most importantly contributing to a sustainable future.
