Job description

Job Summary

We are looking for a Sustainability Engineer for our Net Zero Design Consulting team.

Role Purpose

JLL's Sustainable Asset Services support the creation of resilient real estate assets for the future. We guide our clients through the evolving landscape of sustainability, to deliver their retrofit, fit-out or property transaction in accordance with their ESG goals and industry-leading practice. We help clients to decarbonise their buildings, protect assets from our changing climate and create better, healthier places for people.

We have a diverse team of engineers and sustainability professionals, which enables us to guide our clients through all sustainability requirements for projects, combining NZC with equally critical sustainability criteria, maximising opportunities to deliver best-in‑class sustainable buildings. This also provides a great environment for personal learning and development.

We are a purpose driven team and aim to always be at the leading edge of what we do, to ensure that our clients are doing the right thing for the future.

What this job involves

• Reviewing existing buildings from site surveys, as-built information, energy data and research; and quantify a building's key energy performance factors
• Creating detailed thermal models to define a building's engineering and architectural requirements for NZC
• Where necessary building more complex models to system component level, such as Apache HVAC in IES
• Some experience of compliance modelling for BREEAM/LEED, Part L and EPCs
• Analysing a building's engineering and building fabric factors to determine opportunities to improve performance
• Aligning building analysis to consider related European building regulation issues associated with building performance
• Developing building performance metrics to compensate where limited or no information is available
• Undertake whole life carbon assessments using OneClickLCA. Training can be provided as required
• Strong Excel skills to help with analysis. An ability to present data clearly and effectively is a key requirement
• Ideally some experience of Building Services systems in a design capacity or similar

Sound like you? To apply you need to be / have:

• A passion for sustainable and NZC buildings
• Good verbal and written communication skills
• Some building services engineering and design abilities
• A knowledge of building fabric elements related to energy efficiency is desirable
• Aspiring to attain Chartered status and understand the pathway to achieving this is desirable, not mandatory
• Competent in IES VE software and CIBSE TM 54 thermal modelling. Ideally familiar with IES Apache HVAC
• Familiar with Part L/SAP modelling and up to date with the proposed changes to these regulations
• Competent in AutoCAD and ideally Revit; candidate should be able to read/comprehend AutoCAD/Revit drawings to create models
• An understanding of industry bodies and standards for NZC buildings and sustainability in the built environment
• An understanding of BREEAM and the Energy-related credits and strong knowledge of BREEAM/MAT01 assessments
• Knowledge or experience in OneClickLCA is desirable
• Knowledge of the Passivhaus Standard is desirable
• Experience in wider sustainability consulting, such as BREEAM, WELL and biodiversity is desirable
• An ability to sketch ideas and communicate with sketches rather than written text
• Good understanding of embodied carbon assessment
• RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA)
• Embodied carbon standards (ISO 14067, EN 15978, TM65). Knowledge of all carbon standards not necessary; however it would be good to have knowledge of one or two carbon standards
• Ability to interrogate a material Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) to extract various scope emissions, global warming potential (GWP) and non EPD material disclosure interpretation
• Ability to undertake embodied carbon modelling using OneClickLCA and other systems
• Ability to read, interrogate and extract information from a bill of quantities (BoQ) to translate into project functional unit use
• General understanding of project stages and associated scope emissions throughout the lifecycle of projects
• Good Excel skills to be able to manipulate output into the required format

Qualifications / Experience

• Mechanical, Sustainability, Electrical, Mechatronics, Building Services, Architectural Engineering, or other related Engineering Degree (Bachelor at minimum)
• Junior Sustainability Specialist should have at least 4 to 5 years of experience
• Proficient in embodied carbon modelling
• Working knowledge in assessing embodied carbon benchmarks and developing decarbonization pathways

If you have most, but not all of these skills, please feel free to apply, as, for the right candidates, supplementary training and support can be provided.

Every day is different, and in all these activities, we'd encourage you to show your ingenuity.
