**This role would be ideal for an EPC assessor with experience in hospitality businesses who wishes to use their skills and knowledge to develop a career in energy efficiency and sustainability.**

**About us - Hospitality Energy Saving & Sustainability**

We’re the only energy and sustainability experts working exclusively in the hospitality industry and we get a real buzz from helping businesses become more efficient and reducing their environmental impact. The savings we’ve delivered run into millions of pounds and we’ve saved a whole load of carbon as well.

Our clients range from single site operators to some of the largest hospitality businesses in the UK. They include pubs, restaurants, hotels and stadiums, in fact any business where you’d go to eat, drink, sleep or be entertained.

We believe we’re the best at what we do because of our passion combined with the experience we’ve gained from spending most of our lives working this incredible industry.

But, we now have a problem, although it’s a good problem. We never advertise, but our client list is growing, - so we must be doing something right but this means we’re starting to get a bit stretched, so that gives us a fantastic opportunity - we can add to our small but growing team.
