• Lead or support proposal development and identify opportunities to grow existing accounts through additional service offerings.
• Mentor junior consultants, helping them grow their technical and consulting capabilities.

• Strong project management skills – from scoping and planning through to execution and reporting.
• Excellent communication skills, able to present complex data and ideas clearly to clients and stakeholders.

Desirable:
• Qualified Non-Domestic or Domestic Energy Assessor (SBEM Level 1–4).
• PAS 2030 / 2035 experience or CIBSE Low Carbon Consultant accreditation.
• Knowledge of digital twins, whole-life costing, or EN 15978 / EN 15643 standards.
