The rise of sustainability and the circular economy is transforming the construction industry, driving a growing demand for new specialized roles. Positions such as sustainability managers or circular economy consultants are becoming increasingly common in contemporary projects.
While both sustainability managers and circular economy consultants share the goal of reducing a project's environmental impact, their approaches differ. Sustainability managers take a broader, more strategic view, focusing on implementing sustainable practices throughout the entire project lifecycle. In contrast, circular economy consultants focus specifically on optimizing resource use, promoting reuse, recycling, and waste minimization. Both roles are scarce yet essential in a sector that increasingly demands sustainable practices and regulations.
