Overview

An established and growing building services and sustainability consultancy is looking to appoint a Sustainability Consultant with a strong focus on BREEAM delivery to join its office in the Birmingham area.

This opportunity would suit someone confident managing BREEAM projects independently, who is looking to broaden their exposure across energy modelling, life cycle assessment, and wider sustainability advisory services.

With an expanding sustainability offering and increasing project demand, this role offers genuine progression and the chance to develop into a more senior position over time.

  • -30,000 - -40,000 depending on experience

  • Hybrid working (3/2 split, flexible)

  • Clear pathway for progression as sustainability services grow

  • Interest in expanding into broader sustainability disciplines



The Role

You will take the lead on BREEAM assessments across multiple sectors, working closely with design teams and clients to drive sustainable outcomes.

While BREEAM will form the core of the role initially, there is strong opportunity to diversify into:

  • Embodied carbon inputs

  • ESG-related advisory work (as services expand)

This is an ideal position for someone who wants more ownership and visibility within a growing sustainability team.

  • Coordinate and review evidence submissions

  • Lead client and design team workshops
