Junior Sustainability Engineer

Up to £35000 per annum Package
 

Job Description

Junior Sustainability Engineer (Building Physics / Building Performance Engineering) To £35K.

Enjoy shaping the future direction and focus of the sustainability and building physics team within a prestigious global, architectural practice.

Reporting directly to the Sustainability and Net Zero Carbon Team leader, you'll get to utilise your interests in Sustainability, Building Physics, Architecture and R&D to their full potential. You'll use your previous experience or qualifications in HVAC design or building services to help integrate innovative, low energy solutions, materials, or technology and drive true net zero carbon buildings and developments across the UK.

You'll use your knowledge of holistic design and energy efficient building design to really influence the sustainability elements on projects. And you'll use your passion for good architecture to ensure that the practices' signature style is maintained whilst ensuring the sustainability intent is carried through and realised on site, and certainly not, just value engineered out.

You'll also get involved in new research around NZC, the circular economy and best practice Passivhaus design.

Rather than having to specialise in either new build/master planning or listed and existing buildings, here you'll get involved in both areas.

Their studio is a positive and welcoming space and places a focus on the enjoyment of being at work, staff well-being, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. They offer a hybrid working policy with flexible work hours and the ability to work from home two or three days a week.

Requirements:

  • Expert modelling skills using IESVe, TAS or Design Builder
  • Previous experience working in building services engineering, or a completed engineering degree in a relevant field
  • Good understanding of thermal performance, daylight/sunlight, embodied carbon, overheating and operational carbon
  • Good understanding of Passivhaus, BREEAM, HQM, WLCA, Nabers and LEED
  • Able to propose a range of renewable options to help close the energy performance gap.

  • list Mechanical (Building Services) Engineer

    Mechanical (Building Services) Engineer - To £48K

    Quality of delivery, quality of staff, innovative projects, and a great company culture. These are the founding principles of this multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy based near Liverpool Street.

    Quality runs deep through the practice, and every project is overseen by a director all the way through the various RIBA stages. They produce quality designs that are low in energy and carbon, are properly coordinated and, actually fit within the space that was allocated by the client.

    In terms of recruitment, they only employ permanent staff with stable employment histories, as they would prefer to turn work away rather than employing average engineers to just churn out poor quality designs.

    Innovation exists across everything they do, they analyse every completed project, compare how the building is performing in use, and then use building performance engineering to improve the next project. They also continuously research and invest in new and emerging technologies, in order to make their existing software, processes or templates more efficient.

    And, they also adopt a bold approach to building design, never shying away from the opportunity of trying something totally new, to solve an issue or overcome a challenge. Recent examples include their use of stone bearing masonry rather than steel, their investment in R&D into the use of advanced phase change materials or their ability to use CLT on larger, complex structures.

    In terms of culture, the founding partners remain hands on and actively encourage all employees to make suggestions on how things can be improved. They operate an open plan studio environment, with MEP Engineers siting alongside the structural engineers, civil engineers, and BIM staff, which ensures constant collaboration. They have weekly and monthly social activities, and provide all staff with an annual bonus, and an annual salary review and increase.

    As an Mechanical Engineer, you'll get involved in designing and modelling a variety of low carbon, interesting buildings such as theatres, museums, galleries, schools, castles, cinemas, offices, churches, universities, and data centres.

    You'll work as part of a friendly, experienced, and supportive team of around 30 engineers on one off projects, typically from concept all the way through to construction.

    You will attend design team and site meetings, and liaise directly with clients, architects, and specialist external consultants. You will also carry out heating and cooling loads, size plants, ducts, or pipes, use Revit MEP to produce 3D models, and also ensure all projects adhere to CIBSE guidelines, British standards and also promote a circular economy.

    Requirements

    • At least two years' experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer,
    • Previous experience working directly with Architects.
    • Comfortable communicating technical terms, to a non-technical audience.
    • Easy to work with, able to work as part of a team.
