Job description

Are you passionate about sustainability and eager to make a tangible impact on the built environment? A leading environmental building services consultancy is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Sustainability Graduate to join their dynamic team in the West Midlands.

Why This Role Stands Out:
This position offers a unique chance to be at the forefront of sustainable design and innovation. As a Graduate Sustainability Consultant, you will receive comprehensive support from senior team members, ensuring a robust foundation in sustainability design advice, modelling, and reporting. This role promises a diverse range of projects, working with both public and private sector clients, and covering new builds and refurbishments from planning to completion.

Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct BREEAM assessments
- Prepare sustainability statements for planning
- Perform low zero carbon technology (LZC) feasibility studies
- Undertake passive design analysis and reporting
- Model and report embodied carbon using One Click LCA Software

Once proficient in these core areas, there will be opportunities to delve into other aspects of sustainability consultancy, such as health and well-being (WELL and Fitwel), SKA, and circular economy assessments.

Skills and Experience Required:
- A degree (or equivalent) in Environmental/Sustainability/Architectural Technology or a related discipline is essential. An MSc in these subjects would be advantageous.
- Working knowledge of BREEAM assessments and experience with One Click LCA Software for life cycle and embodied carbon analysis is beneficial, though training will be provided.
- Strong collaborative skills, both within the business and externally, are crucial. A conscientious and committed approach is essential.
- Excellent organisational skills, a proactive and flexible mindset, and the ability to deliver high-quality work within tight timescales are required.
- Exceptional communication skills, both verbal and written, are a must.
- A genuine desire to promote sustainability in the built environment is highly valued.

This role is perfect for someone who is well-organised, driven, and eager to develop new and existing skills.
