They’ve built a strong reputation delivering complex MEP projects across sectors like commercial, healthcare, education, and defence — and are now looking to bring in a hands-on Sustainability Consultant to lead technical modelling and support low-carbon design delivery.
This role is ideal for someone with a solid technical base in energy and carbon modelling who also enjoys rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck into real projects, both in design and on-site.
What you’ll be doing
- Carrying out dynamic simulation and thermal modelling using software like IES or DesignBuilder
- Developing and implementing carbon reduction strategies across M&E and architectural interfaces
- Supporting with compliance reporting including EPCs, Part L, TM54, BREEAM, etc.
- Advising on low-carbon technologies – heat pumps, CHP, PV, district energy and more
- Working closely with the M&E team to feed sustainability strategies into coordinated design
- Contributing to BIM and Revit-based workflows for environmental analysis
- Occasionally getting on site to support commissioning, surveys, and performance reviews
- Presenting modelling results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- A hands-on technical background in sustainability, building services, or environmental engineering
- Proven experience in energy modelling tools (e.g., IES VE, DesignBuilder, TAS, Excel-based calcs)
- Working knowledge of UK sustainability regulations and frameworks
- Comfortable communicating across disciplines – M&E, architects, clients, and contractors
- Ideally someone who enjoys a mix of office-based analysis and occasional site visits
- BIM/Revit experience or interest in developing those skills
- Professional accreditation (LCEA, CIBSE Low Carbon Consultant etc.) would be a plus
- You’ll be joining a consultancy where sustainability isn’t just a checkbox – it’s a core focus
- You’ll work directly with experienced engineers on projects that aim for low and zero-carbon outcomes
- The team is pragmatic, technical, and genuinely values hands-on problem solvers
- Hybrid working is supported, but they want someone who enjoys being engaged and involved in projects in a tangible way
