Senior Sustainability Consultant
đź“Ť Bristol | đź’Ľ Flexible Hybrid Working | đź’° Salary DOE + Benefits + Bonus
Help shape the future of sustainable design. A forward-thinking MEP consultancy based in
Bristol is on the lookout for a
Senior Sustainability Consultant to help lead the charge on low-carbon, high-performance building projects. From concept to delivery, you’ll play a key role in embedding sustainability at every stage of the design process — not just ticking boxes, but influencing real outcomes.
This team doesn’t follow the standard route — they ask “why?”, challenge assumptions, and deliver creative, data-driven energy strategies for buildings that work better for people
and the planet.
What you’ll be doing:- Leading sustainability and energy strategy input on a range of exciting projects
- Writing and presenting Energy & Sustainability Statements for planning applications
- Overseeing BREEAM assessments, energy modelling and compliance reporting
- Advising clients and design teams on renewables, low/zero carbon technologies and retrofit solutions
- Staying ahead of regulatory shifts and helping the team and clients do the same
- Supporting junior consultants and guiding them through best practice
- Getting involved in shaping the team’s approach and technical direction
About you: You’re someone who’s passionate about delivering real sustainability—not just compliance. You know your way around UK building regs, low-energy systems, and environmental certifications, and you're confident working with clients, architects, and engineers alike.
We’re looking for:- 6+ years’ experience in sustainability within the built environment
- Strong technical understanding of energy modelling, planning policy, and assessment tools (SAP/SBEM, TM54, BREEAM, etc.)
- A background in engineering, sustainability, or building physics (degree qualified)
- Good communicator, naturally curious, and always pushing for better
- Ideally on the way to or already chartered (CIBSE, IEMA, IES, etc.)
What’s in it for you?- 💻 Hybrid & flexible working – choose how you work best
- 🌿 Work on meaningful, sustainability-first projects (retrofit, mixed-use, education, commercial)
- 🎯 Clear progression opportunities and technical development
- đź‘Ą Join a small, collaborative team that values creativity, independence, and impact
- đź’ˇ Genuine input into strategy, tools, and the future of the sustainability offer
- 🚴‍♂️ Cycle-to-work scheme, gym membership, private medical, pension, bonus, and more
