Graduate Sustainability Consultant – Retrofit & Renewables

Are you passionate about sustainable design and tackling the climate emergency through the built environment? Do you want to make a real impact from day one? Join our client’s dynamic consultancy team in London as a Graduate Sustainability Consultant, where you'll help deliver grant‑funded retrofit projects and support clients building energy‑efficient homes—supplying solar panels, heat pumps, and more—to drive the capital toward net‑zero.

About

A forward‑thinking sustainability consultancy working at the intersection of policy, design, and delivery. Their focus is on:

• Retrofit funding: Helping housing associations, local authorities, and community organisations access SHDF, LAD, ECO4, HUG, and other streams.
• New‑build efficiency: Advising developers on fabric‑first design, solar PV systems, battery storage, and low‑carbon heating solutions.

They pride ourselves on turning ambitious decarbonisation targets into practical, scalable solutions.

The Role

As a Graduate Sustainability Consultant, you’ll:

• Support bid writing for government and grant funding (e.g. SHDF, ECO4, HUG).
• Conduct building assessments (PAS 2035, SAP/PHPP) and solar PV feasibility studies.
• Liaise with suppliers and installers of solar panels, heat pumps, and smart‑meter systems.
• Contribute to technical reports and present findings to clients and stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Grant applications: Prepare funding bids for retrofit and renewables projects.
• Energy modelling: Perform SAP, PHPP, and dynamic simulation to optimise building performance.
• Technical due diligence: Assess sites for solar, battery storage, and fabric‑first measures.
• Stakeholder engagement: Translate complex technical data into clear, actionable advice.
• Market research: Monitor grant rounds, incentives, and industry best practices.

About You

• Degree in Sustainability, Environmental Engineering, Architecture, or related.
• Strong interest in retrofit, renewables, and low‑carbon housing.
• Familiarity with UK grant mechanisms and green‑building standards.
• Excellent communication, analytical, and problem‑solving skills.
• Proficient in Excel; experience with SAP, PHPP, or RdSAP and PV‑sizing tools is a plus.

What We Offer

• Up to £40,000 salary plus competitive benefits
• Mentoring & development: Structured training in both retrofit and renewables
• Real‑world impact: Work on high‑profile projects from day one
