ABOUT
Dr. Rosalie Constable
I'm a technical and strategic leader who helps energy, mining and infrastructure organisations with programme delivery, strategic risk and environmental decision-making in complex technical and regulated settings.
I combine 25+ years in upstream geoscience, asset management and project delivery with ESG and emissions advisory, so the strategies, frameworks and decisions I support are grounded in how projects really operate and hold up under scrutiny from boards, regulators and investors.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with asset owners, operators, investors and public bodies involved in complex energy and infrastructure systems, from upstream oil and gas and mining through to decommissioning, CCS, offshore wind and major capital projects.
The common thread is high-stakes decisions where technical, environmental and strategic risks have material operational and financial consequences.
HOW I THINK ABOUT ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE AND NATURE RISK
I do not see climate and nature as side issues. They increasingly shape strategy, capital allocation, delivery risk and licence to operate.
Good environmental and sustainability work has to be grounded in operational and technical reality. It has to recognise where the real risks sit, what can genuinely be influenced, and where organisations are exposed to longer-term transition, disclosure and nature-related pressures.
That means joining up evidence from the subsurface, operations, engineering, environmental constraints and reporting frameworks, rather than treating them as separate workstreams.
TESTIMONIAL
"I had the privilege of working closely with Rosalie over a period of 8 years, initially based in New Zealand and subsequently based in Austria. Rosalie is a talented, experienced and highly motivated geoscientist who takes pride in all aspects of her work.
We worked closely on regional exploration projects for several years, and I cannot speak highly enough of her collaborative, resourceful and supportive nature. Rosalie can be relied on to do highly accurate detailed work when needed, but is equally capable of providing “big picture” perspective. She is a pleasure to work beside, and is a valuable team player.
I later had the privilege of being Rosalie’s line manager during a period of high activity for our company. Rosalie was a team leader at that time, and proved herself to be a highly organised project manager who never failed to deliver quality according to timelines, scope, budget and deliverables. Her strength as a project manager comes from her ability to combine her highly organised nature with her specialist geological skills and strong background in sedimentology, geochemistry, geophysics, structural geology, seismic interpretation and play fairway analysis.
I have no hesitation in recommending Rosalie, and will welcome any questions from prospective employers."

EXPERIENCE & BACKGROUND
My background spans more than 25 years across geoscience, asset management, technical leadership and ESG advisory.
I started in upstream oil and gas, working in technically complex asset environments where project delivery, subsurface uncertainty, commercial constraints and operational realities all had to be balanced. That experience still shapes how I work today: practical, evidence-based and focused on what will stand up in the real world.
In more recent years, through Constable Energy Consulting and as Co-Founder of sustain:able, I have worked with operators, developers and investors across oil and gas, mining and infrastructure, including:
-
Leading life-of-asset greenhouse gas assessments, transition roadmaps and decommissioning-related analysis for offshore and onshore developments.
-
Supporting operators, investors and developers on climate, sustainability and risk-related decision-making, including alignment with TCFD, ISSB/IFRS S2, CSRD, GRI, SASB and sector frameworks.
-
Developing tools, methods and governance approaches to assess strategic, environmental and transition-related risks across projects and portfolios, including decommissioning emissions and CCS storage risk.
-
I also hold ISO 14064-1 and -2 certifications and have co-authored peer-reviewed research on quantitative risk assessment for geological CO2 storage.
HOW I WORK WITH ORGANISATIONS
I work best where organisations need someone who can move between technical detail and strategic decision-making without losing sight of either.
That might mean:
-
Leading or supporting complex projects where environmental, climate and nature-related issues need to be integrated into wider programme and asset decisions.
-
Providing technically credible input to governance, disclosure, due diligence or strategic review processes.
-
Acting as a bridge between external specialists and the business, making environmental, biodiversity and risk workstreams coherent, decision-useful and aligned with operational, financial and regulatory realities.
A consistent theme in my work is helping different parts of an organisation understand each other better, whether that means talking to geoscientists, engineers, finance teams, ESG leads or the board in language that makes sense to each.
WHERE I'M BASED
I’m based near Cambridge in the UK and work with clients and teams across the world, often in hybrid or remote arrangements.
If your organisation needs rigorous, grounded support on programme delivery, strategic risk, environmental decision-making or asset transition challenges, I’d be glad to discuss where I might help.
