Job Description
Overview
Our Programme Management, Sustainability & Advisory (PMSA) Practice helps clients establish, transform and deliver complex programmes and projects, portfolios and organisations across the built environment.
Working across public and private sector clients, we support major buildings and places, property, estates, capital investment and transformation programmes. Our work spans programme and portfolio management, assurance and compliance, business transformation, organisational performance, sustainability, decarbonisation, environmental certification, asset management and strategic advisory services.
We combine practical programme delivery expertise with consulting and advisory capability, helping clients solve complex challenges, improve performance and achieve better outcomes for the people and communities they serve.
As a growing and ambitious team, we bring together programme managers, PMO professionals, sustainability specialists, advisory consultants, transformation experts and digital practitioners. We offer our people the opportunity to work on nationally significant programmes, develop new skills and play a meaningful role in shaping both client outcomes and the growth of our business.
Your role
We are seeking a Sustainability Certification Consultant or Senior Consultant to join our growing Programme Management, Sustainability & Advisory team.
This is an exciting opportunity for an individual with experience in environmental certification, sustainability advisory and sustainable buildings who wants to work across a diverse portfolio of programmes and projects.
Our work includes environmental certification schemes such as BREEAM, WELL, NABERS, HQM and other sustainability frameworks, alongside broader sustainability advisory services including net zero carbon, whole-life carbon, retrofit, resilience and decarbonisation.
We recognise that no candidate will possess expertise across every discipline. We are looking for individuals who bring strengths in environmental certification and sustainability advisory and are motivated to continue developing across the wider sustainability landscape.
You will help clients deliver meaningful sustainability outcomes across a diverse portfolio of projects and programmes.
Working alongside clients, design teams and project stakeholders, you will lead and support environmental certification activities, providing practical advice to help projects achieve their sustainability ambitions while balancing operational, commercial and technical requirements.
