Overview of Role
Location - London, Bristol, or Birmingham
We are seeking an experienced utilities or energy professional to join a growing advisory team delivering infrastructure and low-carbon energy solutions across the built environment. The role can be appointed at Consultant or Senior Consultant level, depending on experience.
You will support projects from early feasibility and development planning through to post-planning delivery, helping clients understand utility constraints, network capacity, energy demand, and the infrastructure required to support new and existing developments.
Projects will include major developments, education estates, commercial property, and public-sector schemes, with significant client exposure and collaboration across engineering, sustainability, and the wider built environment.
Role responsibilities and requirements
- Develop utilities and energy strategies from feasibility and concept design through masterplanning, planning, and later project stages.
- Obtain and interpret utility asset information, assessing existing infrastructure to identify constraints, risks, and development opportunities.
- Undertake electricity, heating, and water demand calculations to establish capacity and infrastructure requirements.
- Assess network capacity and advise on new connections, reinforcement, diversions, and potential onsite generation solutions.
- Coordinate with network operators, developers, and project teams on connection strategies, infrastructure changes, and delivery requirements.
- Evaluate renewable generation, battery storage, smart energy systems, and other low-carbon technologies for integration into developments.
- Prepare feasibility assessments and technical appraisals covering utilities, energy, sustainability, and decarbonisation opportunities.
- Produce clear technical reports, drawings, recommendations, and client-facing deliverables that turn complex findings into practical advice.
- Build effective relationships with clients, architects, engineers, planners, consultants, network operators, and other stakeholders.
