**Full time, Permanent.**

**About us**:
BDP is a continuous collective of architects, engineers, designers and urbanists. We design at every scale from city masterplans, neighbourhoods, parks, streets and buildings to specialist, bespoke light and acoustic installations.

We are placemakers who work at every stage of the design process from visioning to briefing to design, delivery and operation. We respond to the demands of our dynamic and ever-changing planet with cross-discipline design thinking that spans all of life’s activities, protects the environment and enhances social value.

Harnessing our collective ethos, the spirit of BDP is about making places for people. Our structure and governance as a global network of federated city studios creates design hubs that are connected to the cities, regions and communities they serve.

As part of the Nippon Koei Group, we fuse our passion for architecture and engineering with user-centred design and large-scale infrastructure projects to deliver world-class solutions for better, more prosperous places.

Our Sustainability Group provides a wide range of services across building design to both internal and external clients. Our current suite of services include:

- Sustainability strategies and bespoke frameworks
- Net zero carbon strategies (operational and embodied carbon)
- Environmental assessments, including BREEAM, LEED, SKA and WELL
- Production of planning documentation, including Sustainability and Energy Statements for Planning
- Ecological assessment and consultancy
- In-use and post-occupancy evaluation and building optimisation
- Knowledge sharing and upskilling of the practice
- BDP internal environmental management

**The role**:
Key responsibilities include:

- Leading the delivery of environmental certification, with support from senior members of the team.
- Reviewing project details and developing targets for environmental certification and opportunities to enhance sustainable outcomes.
- Delivering workshops to communicate sustainability requirements to internal and external team members.
- Providing support and guidance to design teams in developing compliant and robust design strategies and associated evidence.
- LCA assessments
- Construction site monitoring
- Reviewing evidence and completing validation statements and QA processes for submission to third party certification organisations.
- Net zero carbon strategies and assessments (both operational and embodied)
- Material lifecycle assessments (embodied carbon assessments)
- Circularity assessments
- Post occupancy evaluations
- Environmental management system

Their expertise should be borne from an enthusiasm for environmental sustainability, through the practical implementation of strategies that support environmental, social and economic sustainability at local, national and global levels. They will truly enjoy their work, maintaining a keen interest in the fast-paced agenda, and will be driven to develop the role and make a positive contribution to projects by advocating change.

**Qualifications and previous experience**:

- Confidence in preparing and delivering presentations to a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
- Exemplary written and spoken English, with experience of technical report writing
- Experience of using materials life cycle tools and software such as OneClick LCA
- Experience of carrying out circularity assessments and consultancy

Group Objectives:

- To evolve and expand the knowledge of the organisation, raising the company’s profile for delivering consistently environmentally conscious places and buildings
- To ensure that the company develops and expands its environmental and sustainability services internally and externally, working to influence design proposals and lift design quality
- To become accepted as a resource for sustainable design advocacy and creativity, working closely with different teams to provide low impact, healthy and value added design solutions
- To work with the studios, profession heads and board of directors to ensure the sustainability agenda is communicated effectively throughout the practice
