**This is why your internship is challenging**

You get to work in the challenging and dynamic fields of sustainability and hospitality. How can we make our hotels more sustainable without impacting our hospitality? Or, does our form of hospitality have to evolve? How do we keep up in a regulatory landscape that changes overnight? These key challenging questions are the backbone of what it means to work in sustainable hospitality, and you will get to experience these challenges firsthand.

There are no specific requirements for this role, and all applicants will be considered. That being said, we believe you should be pursuing a degree in a field related to sustainability. For example, Sustainable development, Environmental studies, Sustainable real estate, or any other course relating to Hospitality or the built environment/ construction wherein sustainability forms a large portion of your curriculum or the basis of your thesis. A background in real-estate is a plus, and you should have familiarity with asset certifications (BREEAM, LEED), an awareness of reporting frameworks that are applicable to Sircle Collection (CSRD, CSDDD, SECR). You will also need to be able to manage multiple projects at once, be able to communicate complex ideas and concepts clearly to various stakeholders, and most importantly, have a passion for assets, hospitality and sustainability. **You're available from February 2025 for at least 5 months and.**
