Principal Sustainability Consultant

PB has a small but expert sustainability team, with ambitions to grow.  Our portfolio of work ranges from sustainability support to projects run by colleagues in other parts of the company to our own client portfolio with organisations such as developers, the Maritime and Coastal Agency and local authorities.  We also provide support for PB’s own sustainability, with the head of our team (Lynne Ceeney) being the Director of Corporate Sustainability for part of her week, and other members of our team managing the Environmental Management System in the North of the UK and providing carbon monitoring and reporting services.  We operate a “Seller – Doer” model with each team member undertaking business development and marketing activities as well as managing and delivering projects.  

We work at three levels:

• ·         Technical services (eg carbon footprinting, sustainable procurement)
• ·         Development support (eg sustainability strategies for BSF projects and masterplans, BREEAM Communities, charrettes for collaborative design)
• ·         Organisational support (eg Carbon and Environmental Management Systems, climate change adaptation, planning policy advice) 

We see our future growth as being in the arenas of carbon services, climate change adaptation, sustainability support to planning authorities and developers (including masterplanning and collaborative design), and sustainable management consultancy for both public and private sector. 

The Sustainability Team forms part of Energy and Sustainable Solutions, and sits within the Sustainable Planning and Visualisation Unit in the Infrastructure business
