The Team

For 45 years, Cundall has continued to evolve to become agents of change for a sustainable world, thought leaders in the built environment, and the best place for talent to grow and flourish.

We have been practicing what we preach, and we are the first consultancy to be endorsed as a One Planet Living company and the first to be certified Carbon Neutral. We also have a 2030 Roadmap in order to strategically increase the positive impact we have as sustainable designers and operators of 25 offices globally.

The Sustainability team works with Cundall’s wider global sustainable design practice which has delivered some of the most innovative and ecologically positive projects in a number of countries and all sectors of the built environment. We have established a strong reputation built on providing excellent service and high‑quality sustainability solutions. We work closely with clients to create the sustainability strategies they want, ensuring they are always prepared to the highest standards and incorporate creative design solutions.

Our world‑leading, and growing, project pipeline needs more talent to deliver its sustainable design potential – contact us today to find out more about this exciting opportunity to join our team.

The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for a talented, passionate, and motivated Sustainability Consultant to join our world‑leading sustainability team based in Malaysia, to work on the design of some of the most exciting sustainable design projects in Hong Kong and regionally. We expect all team members to aim to go well beyond industry standards to positively impact every project we work on.

As an integral part of our multi‑disciplinary team, and working closely with colleagues across multiple offices, you will inspire, analyse, report, model ESD projects and liaise with clients with the aim of expanding the sustainability portfolio, in line with Cundall’s Zero Carbon Design 2030 Target.

You will ideally have experience in a similar role working in ESD consulting in the built environment and be looking to take the next step in your career and increase your client exposure, job management, and leadership qualities. Your work will span all sectors and potentially offer a high degree of autonomy, and the ability to influence, and in some cases lead, our national capabilities, and processes, based on the level of experience already gained in the industry.

The Skills

• Engineering, Architecture, or built environment related degree.
• 3-5 years of ESD consulting experience in the built environment sector.
• Knowledge in green rating systems LEED, WELL, Green Mark, Hong Kong BEAM Plus etc, and have a passion for creative and intuitive design.
• Developed knowledge of engineering and architectural principles to analyse and interpret documentation and drawings.
• Possess a body of knowledge that allows you to evaluate ESD attributes and opportunities within designs, and where improvements are required (mechanical, façade, spatial, etc)
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills.
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced, dynamic team and environment.
• Ability to work on multiple projects concurrently, effectively resourcing to meet client deadlines.

Preferable, but not essential:

• LEED or WELL Accreditation.
• Experience in building physics modeling (Energy, Daylight, Comfort, Parametrics).
• Experience in Climate Active & Carbon Neutral.
• Experience with Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) using One Click LCA or equivalent software.
• Proficiency in Mandarin Chinese and/or Cantonese would be advantageous but no mandatory.
