  • Collaborate with the Building Performance Division to analyse operational data, identify inefficiencies, and implement retrofit solutions.
  • Develop and deliver energy optimisation plans for both new-build and existing assets, integrating technologies such as ASHP, WSHP, CHP, PV, and battery storage.
  • Lead energy audits and building performance assessments, providing actionable insights to reduce carbon emissions and operational costs.
  • Produce detailed energy performance reports (SCOP, EPC, Part L compliance) and present findings to clients and internal stakeholders.
  • Advise on low-carbon technologies and innovative solutions, ensuring practical integration within MEP systems during design and installation.
  • Support tendering and bid processes by providing sustainability credentials and energy modelling input.
  • Engage with clients and supply chain partners to promote sustainable practices and value engineering opportunities.
  • Ensure compliance with Building Safety Act and sustainability-related legislation throughout design and construction phases.
  • Drive internal sustainability culture, training teams on best practices and emerging technologies.

 

Skills & Experience

  • Strong understanding of MEP systems integration and their impact on energy performance.
  • Experience with energy modelling tools (e.g., IES, TAS) and interpreting results for practical implementation.
  • Knowledge of UK building regulations, Part L, Net Zero frameworks, and decarbonisation strategies.
  • Ability to balance commercial considerations with sustainability objectives in a contracting environment.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
