Beyond its operational value, this role is designed as a structured development opportunity for the candidate. Working under the mentorship of the Sustainability Lead, the VIE will gain hands-on, project-based experience across the full sustainability lifecycle: tracking and analyzing utility consumption data, supporting ISO 50001 audit readiness, contributing to energy and water project development, and engaging directly with RCE/RCT governance meetings, HSE reporting, utility vendors, and finance stakeholders.

Join a global network that powers how Sanofi delivers — seamlessly, purposefully, and at scale. In Manufacturing & Supply, you’ll help reimagine how life-changing treatments reach people everywhere, faster.
