Award winning sustainability consultancy dsquared are seeking an ESD engineer/consultant to grow our national team.

dsquared is a carbon neutral organisation, with a reputation for exceeding client’s expectations in the delivery of sustainable outcomes.

Our mission is to create spaces, places, and communities that are positive for both the environment and for people. We do this by providing our clients with sustainable and bespoke solutions that are innovative, challenge perceived ideas, and push the boundaries of achievement and excellence.

We are a dedicated sustainability consultancy, with some of the leading experts in Green Star, WELL and NABERS in our team.

• We are passionate about exceeding our Client’s expectations.
• We are not afraid to innovate.
• We do not believe that ESD can be achieved through minimum compliance.
• We really do practice what we preach and are highly flexible with how we approach our work.

We can offer you a rare opportunity to develop your career by working on some of the leading sustainability projects in Australia. Your role will include management of sustainable buildings projects, technical analysis of sustainability solutions, and delivery of sustainable solutions for clients.

With a passion for sustainability, technical analysis, and building simulation, you will have the following:

• A degree level education in engineering (mechanical or related field).
• 2+ years experience in a consulting environment (ESD or mechanical services background) — role title and responsibilities will be tailored based on your level of experience (Intermediate through to Experienced/Senior).
• Detailed understanding of the NCC, particularly Section J compliance and JV3 modelling.
• Proficiency in energy modelling software such as IES VE or DesignBuilder and advanced Excel skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent organisational skills, with the confidence to manage project deliverables on time and on budget.
• Passion for problem solving through technical analysis and building computer simulation.

We actively encourage applications from mechanical services engineers who possess strong technical fundamentals, a good grasp of building physics, and a desire to transition into specialist building simulation and sustainability consulting.

Additional experience that will be viewed favourably:

• Detailed understanding of NABERS and Accredited Assessor status.
• Experience with voluntary sustainability rating tools (Green Star, LEED, WELL).
• Experience building custom tools with Rhino & Grasshopper (e.g. Ladybug Tools).
• Solar PV system analysis and net-zero carbon strategies.

We can provide flexible working arrangements and an exciting, can-do environment as part of a growing dynamic team. Our Adelaide based head office is 6 Star Green Star certified and we are a Carbon Neutral business, showing we practice what we preach.
