About The Role
BWB Consulting is seeking a Graduate Building Physics Consultant to join our award-winning team in Leeds. The role is primarily based in Leeds, with occasional travel across the UK and to other BWB offices.
You will support the delivery of low-energy, high-performance building design through technical analysis, modelling, and sustainability consultancy. Working alongside experienced professionals and multidisciplinary teams, you will contribute to operational energy modelling, thermal comfort and overheating assessments, daylight analysis, and building performance optimisation using IES-VE software.
The role also involves assisting with technical reports, energy strategies, BREEAM documentation, and NABERS UK assessments, while developing expertise in sustainable, performance-led building design and operational carbon reduction.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
