London, United Kingdom Pell Frischmann Group Ltd. Full time

We are currently expanding our Sustainability team in London and we are looking to hire an experienced Principal grade consultant.

About the Role

We are seeking a sustainability professional to join our growing sustainability team in our London office with wide experience of sustainability consultancy. The role will involve working within our London office and with teams across all of our UK offices in order to liaise with clients and lead and coordinate the delivery of technical input.

Based in our London office you will be part of a hardworking and growing team of consultants. The office is based in an excellent location within easy reach of Charing Cross, Covent Garden and Waterloo stations.

As part of your role, you will be working with and supporting the Head of Sustainability to deliver and enhance the team’s work. You will lead the technical contribution to projects, whilst contributing to business development. This position requires you to perform a variety of complex technical, professional and financial activities.

You will liaise with others advising on professional matters in connection with individual projects or project portfolios. You will be proficient at developing long-term client relationships and securing new and repeat work.

As part of the day to day role you will manage medium projects or several small projects with complex features.

This forms part of you being a technical lead for sustainability while supporting the development of the team.

Using your own initiative and technical skills, you will support the wider (multi-disciplinary) project team through safe, efficient and effective delivery of tasks to deadlines. This will ensure that the project remains within budget and to agreed standards. You will be responsible for delivery of projects and tasks whilst acting under minimal supervision, therefore you will be expected to plan your own and other’s work and time to meet given objectives.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

As a Principal Sustainability Consultant, you will be required to work closely with technical disciplines within the organisation and clients to help them measure and improve their sustainability performance. Although tasks may vary depending on projects and scope, you'll typically need to carry out research and develop environment and sustainability assessments. Duties will include:

  • Collect and analyse data and produce reports to demonstrate your findings including presenting your findings to clients.
  • Provide advice on how clients can meet regulations laid out in environmental law and sustainability policies and guidelines.
  • Supporting the Head of Sustainability with implementation of the wider Sustainability Strategy and carrying out workshops and trainings.
  • Recommend technological innovations and explain the most cost-effective and beneficial routes to sustainability. This could involve switching to alternative energy sources to lower energy costs, smarter water usage, reducing waste and lowering carbon emissions.
  • Assisting with communications (both internal and external) of our progress and achievements within Sustainability.
  • Use of carbon and sustainability tools.
  • Manage projects which involve identifying potential clients, preparing marketing materials, bid documents, and managing resources and budgets to deadline.
