Company Description
SustainPlan is a design-led sustainability and compliance consultancy supporting property, construction, and development projects. The team helps project stakeholders address energy, planning, MEP, and building compliance requirements from the earliest project stages, before key design decisions are finalized. SustainPlan follows a four-stage approach—Feasibility & Planning, Design & Compliance, MEP Design & Integration, and Handover & Sign-off—to provide a clear path through complex technical requirements. This integrated method aligns design, energy strategy, building fabric, systems thinking, and sign-off processes to reduce late-stage issues and improve project outcomes. Clients include architects, developers, contractors, consultants, and property owners who seek proactive, outcome-focused compliance support.
Role Description
The Energy & Building Compliance Consultant (SAP / SBEM / TM59) is a full-time remote role responsible for delivering high-quality energy and building compliance advice across residential and non-residential projects. Day-to-day tasks include conducting SAP, SBEM, and TM59 assessments, preparing compliance reports, and advising project teams on strategies to meet and exceed regulatory standards. The consultant will collaborate closely with architects, developers, and MEP engineers to integrate energy performance, building fabric, and systems considerations into early-stage designs. Responsibilities also include reviewing drawings and specifications, identifying compliance risks and opportunities, and recommending practical design optimizations. The role involves communicating findings clearly to clients, supporting planning submissions, and contributing to continuous improvement of internal tools, templates, and workflows.
