Compliance Engineer - Sustainability Compliance (Remote)

Certivo turns regulatory evidence into market access. Our AI, CORA, automates supplier outreach, data extraction, and rule checks, then assembles market-ready packets mapped to every product × site × market. We pair automation with deep domain expertise so industrial manufacturers can meet sustainability expectations and regulatory requirements without slowing down launches.

The role

Own sustainability compliance outcomes for industrial customers. You will lead life cycle data collection, model LCAs, produce and maintain EPDs, manage packaging and producer-responsibility obligations, and stand up reporting workflows for enterprise programs. You will also encode your playbooks into CORA so evidence stays current as products, suppliers, and rules change.

Responsibilities

• Regulatory and program intelligence : track and interpret sustainability frameworks and owner / operator requirements relevant to industrial equipment and components; author applicability rationales and encode thresholds, scopes, and reporting triggers into CORA.
• CSRD (EU) readiness : lead double materiality pre-work for industrial manufacturers; map ESRS topics (with emphasis on E1 GHG , E2 Pollution , E5 Circular Economy , and relevant social / governance disclosures) to data owners, controls, audit trail, and product‑level links (EPD, packaging, WEEE / batteries touchpoints).
• CBAM (EU) enablement : define CBAM scope (HS codes), production routes, embedded emissions (direct / indirect), electricity mix, and precursors; collect supplier declarations, build calculation files, and manage transitional reporting and definitive‑phase data flows.
• EU Batteries Regulation : where in scope (e.g., energy storage, drives / controllers with batteries), build workflows for battery labeling , recycled content , performance / durability , safety , carbon footprint declaration , and battery passport data; coordinate QR / UID strategy and supplier attestations.
• ESPR / Digital Product Passport (DPP) : design attribute sets (UID, material composition, recycled content, repairability / serviceability, software / firmware, documentation) and evidence linkages; pilot payloads and maintenance processes; define how engineering changes trigger DPP updates.
• Life cycle modeling and EPDs : plan and execute LCAs aligned to ISO 14040 / 44 and EN 15804+A2; produce EPDs under ISO 14025 and relevant PCRs; coordinate third-party review and program operator verification.
• Supplier data collection : run multilingual campaigns to collect material specs, process energy, yields and scrap, transport, packaging, CBAM inputs , battery passport attributes , and end‑of‑life assumptions; validate data lineage and quality; commission testing or certificates as needed.
• Packaging and producer responsibility : gather weights, materials, and labeling data; prepare declarations and filings for packaging EPR where applicable; manage bill of materials and labeling implications for industrial packaging.
• Product- and portfolio-level carbon : support Scope 3 Category 1 (purchased goods and services) data capture; build emission factor libraries and mapping to parts; maintain auditable calculation files.
• Reporting and submittals : assemble sustainability evidence packs for buyers, owners, and authorities; prepare materials for contractor submittals and owner / operator documentation.
• Automation and data quality : define quality gates, curate factor and dataset libraries, and partner with Product and AI to improve extraction accuracy and reduce false positives / negatives.
• Customer and auditor interface : present models, assumptions, and results; respond to auditor or buyer questions; drive remediation to closure.
