Salary: £43,000 - £60,000 (dependent on experience)

Location: Bristol

An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced Senior Sustainability Consultant to join one of the UK's leading employee-owned building services engineering consultancies in their Bristol office.

This award-winning consultancy is recognised for delivering innovative, low-energy and sustainable building design across a broad range of sectors including commercial, residential, healthcare, education, science, workplace and public sector developments. Sustainability is at the heart of everything they do, with dedicated specialists working across net zero carbon, building performance, environmental assessment, wellbeing, materials and strategic sustainability advice.

As part of the Bristol team, you'll work on high-profile developments from concept through to completion, collaborating with mechanical, electrical and sustainability engineers to deliver practical, commercially focused solutions that help clients achieve ambitious environmental targets. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to progress their career within a highly respected consultancy that offers genuine long-term development, technical excellence and the opportunity to influence the future direction of sustainability within the built environment.

The Role

As a Senior Sustainability Consultant, you'll lead the delivery of environmental assessment and certification projects while acting as a trusted sustainability advisor to clients, design teams and project stakeholders.

You'll manage your own portfolio of projects across multiple sectors, ensuring assessments are delivered on time, within budget and to the highest technical standard. Working closely with experienced sustainability professionals, you'll help shape project strategies, review technical outputs and contribute to the continued development of the consultancy's sustainability services.

Alongside project delivery, you'll mentor junior consultants, support quality assurance processes and play an active role in developing best practice across the team. You'll also have opportunities to contribute towards business development, client engagement and the growth of new sustainability services.

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, architects, contractors and project teams.
  • Support the development of technical standards, templates and internal quality procedures.
  • Mentor, supervise and support the development of junior sustainability consultants.
  • Assist with fee proposals, bids and business development activities.
  • Deliver workshops and presentations to clients and project teams where required.
  • Work collaboratively with specialists in building performance, wellbeing, materials and environmental design.
