About this role
UL Solutions is hiring an Associate Sustainability Data Analyst to support its enterprise sustainability reporting operations in Northbrook. The role blends hands-on data management with analytical and visualization work, making it suitable for someone comfortable moving between detailed data governance tasks and higher-level insights work. You'll handle data entry, validation, and quality assurance across sustainability metrics like carbon emissions and energy consumption, while also designing Power BI dashboards and reports using Power Query and DAX. The position requires balancing recurring maintenance responsibilities with opportunities to develop forecasting models, identify trends, and translate findings into actionable recommendations for business stakeholders.
