We are invested in our people; we strive to ensure that each member of our staff is fulfilled to be the best they can be. Ultimately, Our People are our Power.

The Role

As a Graduate Sustainability Consultant, you will be supported by senior members of the team to deliver client sustainability design advice, modelling and reports for the following:

  • BREEAM assessments

  • Sustainability statements for planning

  • Low zero carbon technology (LZC) feasibility study reports

  • Passive design analysis and reports

  • Embodied carbon modelling and reporting using the One Click LCA Software.

Once you have developed a good working knowledge in these core areas, then you can explore other areas of the sustainability consultancy services that we offer, such as health and well being (WELL and Fitwel), SKA and circular economy assessments.

Whatever your areas of interest in sustainability, you’ll be working with a wide variety of both public and private sector clients, new builds and refurbishments, from planning stage right through to construction and completion.

Your Experience, Skills & Qualifications

A Degree (or equivalent) in an Environmental/Sustainability/Architectural Technology subject, or related discipline is required. An MSc in one of these subject areas would be ideal, however an enthusiastic approach to continual learning and personal development is more essential.

Working knowledge of BREEAM assessments would be an advantage, as would experience of using the OneClick software for life cycle and embodied carbon analysis. Training will be provided in these areas as soon as you start work with us.

You must have the ability to work collaboratively both within the business and externally, have a strong propensity to work with others, and should be conscientious and committed.

You should also be a well-organised, proactive, flexible, driven, forward planner with the ability to deliver work to a high standard and to tight timescales.

You will have excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and a strong willingness to learn and a desire to develop new and existing skills.

Proven experience working within the industry would be ideal, but a real desire to promote sustainability in the built environment is also very important.

You will become an integral part of our team, as well as being able to work on your own initiative and with a proactive approach.
