BREEAM In-Use

• Advise clients on BREEAM In-Use strategy: scheme scope, Part 1 (Asset Performance) and Part 2 (Management Performance), target rating, and sequencing.
• Manage evidence gathering across single assets and portfolios, including credit-by-credit evidence registers, responsible-party mapping, and gap tracking.
• Liaise with licensed BREEAM In-Use Assessors through to certification, and support clients through the audit and quality assurance process.
• Undertake site surveys and building reviews to verify in-situ conditions and identify improvement opportunities.
• Advise on the capital and operational interventions required to move an asset between rating bands, working with RLB cost management colleagues to price them.

Practice development

• Contribute to bids, proposals, and fee submissions, including scoping and pricing your own work.
• Help develop tools, templates, and methodologies that make delivery more efficient and consistent.

Essential Requirements

• Approximately 4 years' experience in a client-facing consultancy role, ideally within real estate, sustainability, or the built environment.
• Demonstrable experience working directly with institutional investors, fund managers, or asset managers — you understand how a fund is structured, what an asset manager is accountable for, and what an LP cares about.
• Strong, hands-on GRESB experience, having contributed materially to multiple submissions. You understand scoring architecture, data coverage, the landlord/tenant boundary, like-for-like reporting, and validation.
• Strong BREEAM In-Use experience, with practical knowledge of the current scheme version, evidence requirements, and the certification process.
• Track record of managing your own workstreams and deadlines with limited supervision.
• Excellent client management skills — credible in the room, comfortable holding a technical position under commercial pressure, and able to judge when to concede and escalate.
• Strong data handling ability, including advanced Excel and confidence working with large, imperfect utility datasets.
• Clear, concise written communication: reports, memos, and board-level summaries that a non-technical reader can act on.
• Absolute integrity around evidence and data. Our advice has to survive assurance, audit, and investor scrutiny.
• A degree in a relevant discipline, or equivalent demonstrable experience.

Desirable

None of the following are required, but each will strengthen an application:

• Licensed BREEAM In-Use Assessor status.
• Experience with other certification schemes: Fitwel, SKA, BREEAM New Construction / Refurbishment & Fit-Out.
• Net zero carbon and decarbonisation work: net zero pathways, CRREM analysis, stranding risk, transition planning.
• Embodied and whole-life carbon assessment, particularly aligned to RICS methodology.
• Climate risk and TCFD/ISSB-aligned physical and transition risk assessment.
• Regulatory and disclosure fluency: SFDR, EU Taxonomy, CSRD, UK SRS.
• ESG transaction due diligence for acquisitions and disposals.
• Familiarity with ESG data platforms and with ESG components of INREV DDQs.
• Professional membership or progression towards it: IEMA or RICS.
• European market exposure or a second European language.

What We Offer

• Genuine client ownership at an earlier stage than a larger platform would offer, with the support to do it well.
• Breadth: exposure across the full ESG advisory spectrum rather than a single reporting niche.
• Commercial grounding: direct access to RLB's cost management and project management expertise, so your recommendations come with credible numbers attached.
• A practice where you can shape the service offering, not just deliver against it.
• Competitive salary, discretionary bonus, pension, and a flexible hybrid working arrangement.
