Up to £50k + Benefits

One of the world’s leading engineering professionals are looking for a Sustainability Consultant to join their team in Manchester. If you are a consultant looking to make the next step in your career with experience in developing energy efficiency and decarbonisation strategies in the built environment, then we have a fantastic opportunity in one of the leading teams in the sector.

This role will entail working on high profile decarbonisation projects, net zero strategies and decarbonisation work requiring both strategic and technical skills. You should be an effective project manager able to direct resources where needed as well as undertaking some business development activities.

Our client is looking for someone proactive, not a box-ticker. Every day will be a new challenge and you will be routinely asked to develop new methodologies and liaise with wider teams such as Mechanical and Electrical, Industry, Transport, Utilities, Renewables, or our Economics teams.

Your new role, what’s involved?

  • Developing decarbonisation strategies, scenarios, and pathways for clients
  • Contributing to feasibility studies related to energy efficiency, low carbon HVAC, low-carbon heat, and on-site renewables
  • Engaging with and presenting to national and international clients and partners throughout project development and delivery
  • Undertaking site surveys, energy, and net zero audits of commercial, retail, or industrial buildings
  • Modelling energy profiles to assess performance, as well as for low carbon and renewable technologies (e.g., PV, heat pumps, etc) including financial / economic assessments and practical advice on implementation.

    • Your Team

    In the Sustainable Buildings Team, you will be part of Sustainable Places, supported by colleagues who work in the wider team. Our Team is part of the Sustainability and Climate Change pillar containing colleagues from a wide range of disciplines.

    You will get the chance to work on critical decarbonisation projects for clients such as the NHS and GLA as well with major asset managers, investors, and government departments. Your work will be critical to advising and helping clients realise their trajectories to net zero as well as being able to take part in projects from the wider team on new build developments and low carbon refurbishments.

    We’d love to hear from you if you have:

  • Technical knowledge of renewable energy and low-carbon technologies for the generation of electricity and heat
  • Technical knowledge of building services
  • Degree qualified in a technical discipline
  • Chartered Engineer/ Chartered Energy Manager or progressing to chartership desirable
  • Experience of global commercial organisations, industrial, healthcare and the public sector

    • What’s in it for you?

    Work-life balance?

    Our client recognises that work is only one part of your life and making time for other things is important – whether that’s for your families, friends, or yourself.

    Their hybrid working policy allows the flexibility to work from the comfort of your own home as well as collaborating in our contemporary offices across the UK.

    Health & Wellbeing?

    Our client is committed to supporting their people, giving you the tools to make improvements to your health and wellbeing through their Thrive programme.

    Med24 gives you and your family unrestricted telephone access to an NHS doctor where you can call day or night or have a face-to-face video consultation.

    Flex your time?

    For improved work life balance, our client enables you to take one hour per day to do as you wish and make up the time earlier or later that day. They also offer part time working where required, and new for 2022, is the ability to flex your bank holiday entitlement to suit you.

    Your development?

    Our client appreciates that development and training is important to you and that’s why they have a supportive environment that invests in your development, whether that’s chartership, training or mentoring.
