POSTED ON 1/9/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/24/2026

What You'll Work On

  • Support ESG data collection, validation, and management using enterprise ESG and carbon accounting platforms (e.g., Workiva and emissions reporting tools)
  • Partner cross-functionally with teams such as Operations, Finance, Legal, Audit, Investor Relations, Supply Chain, and HR to compile and quality-check ESG data and support program management related to:
    • Carbon emissions and decarbonization initiatives
    • Water stewardship and waste reduction
    • Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB)
    • Product donations and community impact
    • Product sustainability
    • Supply chain stewardship
  • Support ESG project coordination and execution across the ESG portfolio, from data gathering through implementation
  • Assist with global ESG reporting and disclosure aligned with leading frameworks and standards, including: EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD / ESRS), ISSB / IFRS S1 & S2, TCFD and other global ESG frameworks
  • Assist with sustainability data and ESG-related marketing claims, including exposure to life-cycle assessment (LCA) tools and product sustainability data
  • Contribute to ESG communications and disclosures, including Culligan's annual ESG Report, ESG newsletters, and other internal and external materials
  • Identify opportunities to improve ESG data quality, documentation, reporting workflows, and internal controls

What We're Looking For

  • Senior undergraduate or master's candidate pursuing a degree in Environmental Science, Sustainability, ESG, Business, Finance, or a related field
  • Strong interest in corporate sustainability, ESG reporting, and global regulatory frameworks
  • Excellent attention to detail and comfort working with data across multiple workstreams
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and Outlook
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across functions
  • Prior experience in a corporate, consulting, or professional office environment is a plus

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct exposure to real-world ESG programming, reporting and regulatory alignment at a global company
  • Hands-on experience with CSRD, ISSB, S&P CSA, and enterprise ESG systems
  • Opportunity to contribute to public ESG disclosures and investor-facing content
  • Broad visibility across the full ESG value chain — from data to strategy to execution

Compensation & Benefits

  • Hourly Pay Rate: $18.00 per hour (non-exempt, hourly position).
  • Benefits: This position is not eligible for company-sponsored benefits.
