Associate Director / Technical Director – Building Performance & Sustainability
Are you passionate about driving net-zero outcomes and shaping the future of the built environment?
I am currently partnering with a globally recognized, top-tier engineering consultancy to find a senior technical leader for their London office. This is a chance to join an industry-leading Property and Buildings business and take a central role in delivering complex, high-profile sustainability projects across the UK.
In this role, you won't just be advising—you will be shaping project strategy, leading a multidisciplinary network of specialists, and helping high-profile clients turn their strategic sustainability goals into reality.
Key Responsibilities:
🏢 Technical Leadership & Strategy
- Provide technical direction on operational energy, embodied carbon, and low-carbon design.
- Lead and assure energy and carbon strategies from early concept through to design delivery.
- Advise on UK legislation, planning policies, and premier sustainability standards (BREEAM, WELL, NABERS, and LEED).
