Job description

We are currently working with one of London's leading design and engineering consultancies for facades, natural stone and construction materials, as they look to add a Senior Facade Consultant to their team.

Sustainability has become a fundamental driver in the design and delivery of facades, as developers, architects and tenants demand a greener building, better aligned with today's more responsible attitude towards the environment. The consultancy's service includes proactive consideration of these issues, which now form a square of design drivers, which once extended to cost, quality and programme alone.

They understand the importance of embodied Carbon and recycled content in aluminium curtain walling facades, and are close to system suppliers and sub-contractors to ensure that an onerous specification can still be delivered, with multiple procurement options, in a competitive market. They also understand the glass supplier market and the limitations/opportunities open to a project, to buy a more sustainable product.

The consultancy is looking to reuse natural stone from buildings to be demolished on sites, and reinstate this on the newly designed facades on multiple projects.

Primarily, the consultancy is working on buildings with Passivhaus performance aspirations, pushing boundaries in air-tightness and thermal performance requirements. Their Building Physics specialists are expert in the analysis of facades to deliver these targets.

Their knowledge of materials and construction allows alternative solutions to be tested, which puts sustainability and environmental responsibility at the forefront of what we do.

Senior Facade Consultant. The successful applicant should have a minimum of 5 years' experience with a UK based consultant:

• 5+ years' experience working for a Fa ade Consultant in the UK market.
• Experience of pre-contract project stages with good design skills. Some experience of structural design and building envelope physics may be beneficial but not essential.
• Interest in sustainability/embodied carbon and retrofitting existing buildings would be of benefit.
• London based.

Company benefits include employee ownership and associate bonuses thereof, performance bonsues, 26 days of annual leave increasing with service, Vitality health insurance, hybrid working, as well as shared parental leave.
