  • Strong understanding of building physics principles and their application to real-world projects
  • Working knowledge of UK Building Regulations Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power) and Part O (Overheating)
  • Familiarity with BREEAM requirements and how building performance modelling supports certification
  • Experience preparing technical reports and energy statements for planning applications
  • Degree in Building Services Engineering, Environmental Science, Sustainability, Physics, or related technical discipline
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel for data analysis and reporting
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly
  • Self-motivated with ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
