London, United Kingdom Donald Insall Associates Full time

We are looking for a Head of Sustainability to join our practice in a cross-discipline role.

**Practice Culture**:
We believe that change is continuous and that buildings are, in effect, ‘alive’. Historic buildings should be constantly maintained and sensitively adapted so that they may be lastingly used and enjoyed. All of our projects are unique, but the aim is conservation, which means balancing the preservation of a building or place with the need for considered intervention to ensure its continued vitality. One cannot be delivered in isolation from the other, and we ensure a holistic approach to all our projects.

**Job purpose and principal objective**:
Providing thought and technical leadership and embedding good sustainability practices within the organisation, and drive the external profile of the company in regard to sustainability.

**Principal Responsibilities**:

- **Innovation and Research**: Stay up to date with industry developments, emerging technologies, and best practices in sustainable design and policy. Lead research and technical development initiatives to drive innovation within the company, positioning us at the forefront of sustainable architectural and heritage consultancy practices.
- **Collaboration and Education**: Collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders to create a culture of knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement. Provide guidance, educational resources and training to enhance our carbon literacy and integration of sustainable design principles across the organisation.
- **Regulatory Compliance**: Ensure adherence to relevant environmental regulations, certifications, and standards. Input into ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditation as well as Net Zero targets and carbon neutrality accreditation. Keep abreast of changes in legislation, policy and best practice and proactively incorporate compliance measures into project workflows.
- **Internal Company Performance**: Work with in-house colleagues to manage the data collection process and design the strategy moving forward for carbon reduction within the business, working towards Net Zero.

**Job Description**:
**Key Accountabilities**:

- Specific ownership of thought and technical leadership and embedding good sustainability practices across the practice. From our approach to projects and technical and advisory proposals to our company behaviour and carbon emissions.
