Help shape the future of sustainable design.

A forward-thinking MEP consultancy based in Bristol is on the lookout for a Senior Sustainability Consultant to help lead the charge on low-carbon, high-performance building projects. From concept to delivery, you’ll play a key role in embedding sustainability at every stage of the design process — not just ticking boxes, but influencing real outcomes.

This team doesn’t follow the standard route — they ask “why?”, challenge assumptions, and deliver creative, data-driven energy strategies for buildings that work better for people and the planet.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading sustainability and energy strategy input on a range of exciting projects
• Writing and presenting Energy & Sustainability Statements for planning applications
• Overseeing BREEAM assessments, energy modelling and compliance reporting
• Advising clients and design teams on renewables, low/zero carbon technologies and retrofit solutions
• Staying ahead of regulatory shifts and helping the team and clients do the same
• Supporting junior consultants and guiding them through best practice
• Getting involved in shaping the team’s approach and technical direction

About you:

You’re someone who’s passionate about delivering real sustainability—not just compliance. You know your way around UK building regs, low-energy systems, and environmental certifications, and you're confident working with clients, architects, and engineers alike.

We’re looking for:

• 6+ years’ experience in sustainability within the built environment
• Strong technical understanding of energy modelling, planning policy, and assessment tools (SAP/SBEM, TM54, BREEAM, etc.)
• A background in engineering, sustainability, or building physics (degree qualified)
• Good communicator, naturally curious, and always pushing for better
• Ideally on the way to or already chartered (CIBSE, IEMA, IES, etc.)

---

What’s in it for you?

• 💻 Hybrid & flexible working – choose how you work best
• 🌿 Work on meaningful, sustainability-first projects (retrofit, mixed-use, education, commercial)
• 🎯 Clear progression opportunities and technical development
• 👥 Join a small, collaborative team that values creativity, independence, and impact
• 💡 Genuine input into strategy, tools, and the future of the sustainability offer
• 🚴‍♂️ Cycle-to-work scheme, gym membership, private medical, pension, bonus, and more
