About the Company
My client is a multidisciplinary property and sustainability consultancy delivering technical assessment and advisory services across major UK development projects.
Operating at the intersection of building performance, sustainability certification and design delivery, the business supports clients through the full project lifecycle, from early design stage through to construction and handover, ensuring developments meet demanding environmental and planning targets.
About the Project
This role sits on a live and unusual scheme: a commercial-to-hospitality conversion, currently at design stage, with the wider consultancy team appointed through to procurement, construction and handover. BREEAM Excellent is a planning condition on the scheme, making this a business critical workstream.
The Role
The successful candidate will take ownership of the BREEAM assessment strategy for the project, working closely with the design team to close credit gaps, advise on compliance routes and prepare the project for formal lodgement. This is a hands on, advisory role with direct client exposure.
Key responsibilities include:
- Assessing the project against BREEAM RFO (Refurbishment and Fit Out) criteria across all relevant categories, including energy, water, materials, waste and pollution
- Identifying gaps against the target rating and advising the design team on practical routes to close them
- Producing clear, actionable recommendations as the design develops
- Attending client meetings where relevant, providing live feedback and building direct rapport with the project team
- Coordinating with the wider consultancy team to ensure consistency across the assessment as the project progresses toward lodgement
- Supporting formal BREEAM lodgement once the assessment reaches that stage
What We're Looking For
- Essential: Licensed BREEAM AP accreditation covering Refurbishment and Fit Out (RFO)
- Desirable: experience with hotel or hospitality schemes
- Desirable: experience with typology conversion projects (e.g. Office-to-residential, office-to-hotel)
- Comfortable working independently, managing your own time and prioritising across a part time schedule
- Confident communicating directly with clients and design teams
