Join a dynamic, design-led consultancy where innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence drives everything that our client does. Become part of an agile, focused, and committed consultancy that make a real difference to buildings' carbon performance.
Benefits:
* Small team, big ideas: The specialist team consistently delivers engineering outcomes that rival - and often surpass - those of much larger firms.
* Truly integrated design: The approach combines acoustics, daylighting, ventilation, and energy performance from the outset - enabling them to create better Stage 2 and 3 outcomes and unlock design potential early in the process.
* Creative freedom: You'll be encouraged to explore new ideas, shape your career, and contribute to the evolution of their consultancy practice.
* Meaningful projects: Work on some of the UK's most forward-thinking and sustainable buildings.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading the delivery of low-carbon and sustainable design strategies
* Overseeing thermal, daylight, ventilation, and energy modelling (e.g. TM52, TM59, BB101)
* Developing and reviewing technical reports, fee proposals, and planning documentation
* Collaborating with other disciplines for integrated, cross-sectoral design delivery
* Winning new work, supporting marketing, and nurturing client relationships
* Delivering CPDs, leading design workshops, and representing the consultancy externally
* Mentoring junior team members and helping improve service delivery
You'll bring:
* A degree (or equivalent) in Environmental Design, Building Services, or a related field
* Good knowledge of UK sustainability standards (e.g. Part L, TM52, TM59)
* Proficiency in software such as IES or TAS for energy, daylight, and ventilation analysis
* Experience in whole-life carbon or life cycle assessments
* A track record of managing sustainability input on varied project types
* Excellent communication and report writing skills
* A commercial mindset and a desire to contribute to business growth
* A full UK driving licence (preferred)
