ISO 14000 Consultant

Imagine you have been contracted to work with a small oil and gas company to plan and implement the ISO 14000 environmental standards. ISO 14000 sets a standard for environmental management systems, stating the requirements and guidelines for these systems, as well as addressing specific environmental aspects. Your first job with this oil and gas company will be to document its current processes. This will indicate where the deficiencies lie, and what you need to do to bring processes to the ISO 14000 level. You will design systems and integrate them into the company.

As an ISO 14000 consultant, you help organizations achieve business excellence by ensuring compliance with environmental laws and regulations. You provide implementation, auditing, and training assistance that companies can easily understand and maintain. You work on a contract basis, with numerous different client companies throughout the year.

Your consulting service should be a part of any organization's environmental management programs. You ensure organizations are proactive, rather than reactive in terms of environmental-related issues. This can greatly reduce incidents and the liability that they would face. You also help them to conserve energy and materials and allow them to provide evidence of their regulatory compliance. At the end of each day, you are proud to have helped an organization reach a level of environmental excellence.
