* Advising clients and design teams on passive design strategies, envelope optimisation, and sustainable systems integration.
* Attending design and client meetings to communicate technical findings and ensure modelling aligns with project goals.
* Keeping up to date with changes in building regulations and modelling standards.
To be successful in this Building Physics Modeller role, you will need:
* Proven experience using IES-VE for dynamic building simulation and compliance modelling (essential).
* Strong understanding of building physics, thermodynamics, and low-energy building design.
* A relevant degree in Building Services Engineering, Environmental Design, Architecture, or similar.
* Excellent communication skills and confidence in presenting technical information to clients and design teams.
* A proactive attitude and a genuine commitment to sustainability and innovation in the built environment.
* Full right to work in the UK.
