Senior or Principal Sustainability Consultant
Reading

About the Role
A fantastic career opportunity has arisen for a creative and driven Senior or Principal Sustainability Consultant to join our Sustainability Group. The role is based in our Bournemouth or Reading offices and will be part of a broader Sustainability Group with a presence across multiple locations.

We provide a diverse sustainability consultancy service, promoting sustainable development for a range of projects across various sectors. Our team is an industry leader in sustainability design, construction, and building operation, with a focus on achieving high standards of environmental sustainability. The team thrives on a dynamic, innovative, and ambitious working culture, offering a rare opportunity to contribute to the field of sustainability and grow your career.

Why Work With Us?
We are an award-winning engineering consultancy with a creative team of engineers, designers, and technical specialists. We provide innovative solutions to complex engineering and design challenges for buildings. We were early adopters of Design for Performance (DfP), completing pioneering projects like Timber Square, the UK's first NABERSUK Design for Performance project to achieve a 5* design-reviewed target rating.

With a focus on human-centred, environmentally sustainable design, we delivered the world's first workplace fit-out to achieve both BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Certified Gold. Our clients are industry leaders, always striving to push the boundaries of sustainability.

Here, you'll have the opportunity not only to work on exciting projects but also to engage with the wider industry. We regularly collaborate with key industry bodies and are committed to driving the sector forward. You'll gain knowledge across all sectors, work on progressive projects, and have a structured career development path to advance your career.

The Role
In this position, you will:
Take ownership and deliver small-scale projects.
Support senior team members on larger projects and lead specific workstreams.
Lead workshops with clients and design teams, communicating effectively and clearly.
Delegate, manage, and review the work of others.
Support the training and development of junior team members.
Undertake a range of modelling and analysis, including but not limited to embodied carbon, circular economy opportunities, building performance simulation, operational energy use, energy generation, and overheating assessments.
Lead the development of sustainability and energy strategies.
Deliver environmental assessments (such as BREEAM, WELL, HQM, etc.) from early design stages through to completion.
Drive efforts towards achieving net zero whole-life carbon in projects.
Participate in research and development initiatives to stay at the cutting edge of industry knowledge.
Engage with industry through research, development studies, and authoring guidance.

What We Are Looking For
Key Skills & Knowledge:
You will possess detailed knowledge, competence, and qualifications in several of the following fields. We do not expect candidates to have expertise in all areas but to have a focus on some with a willingness to grow in others:

Energy strategies
Building Regulations Part L assessments using Elmhurst and IES
NABERS UK modelling
In-use energy modelling and assessment
Dynamic modelling for thermal comfort and overheating risk assessments
BREEAM and HQM assessments
Bespoke sustainability charters
Health and wellbeing strategies and certification
Planning documents (sustainability statements, energy statements, whole life carbon reports, circular economy statements)
Net zero carbon strategies and embodied carbon calculations
Circular economy strategies

About You
With 4-8 years of experience in sustainability consultancy, you are looking for a new challenge.
You have a degree in a relevant field and a passion for creating sustainable solutions.
You are confident in leading sustainability workshops with design teams.
You enjoy being part of a dynamic team in a progressive and well-respected firm.
You have strong communication skills and thrive in a team environment.
You are committed to sustainability.
