About You

  • 6+ years’ experience in sustainability within the built environment

  • Degree-qualified in engineering, sustainability, or building physics
  • Excellent communicator, curious, proactive, and passionate about real sustainability
  • Chartered or working towards chartership (CIBSE, IEMA, IES, etc.) preferred

Why Join?
