Graduate Sustainability Consultant (BREEAM)

This is an exciting new opportunity for someone who is passionate about sustainability and construction. This growing and progressive company is looking to take on a graduate sustainability consultant. This company cuts through the greenwashing and apathy and provides meaningful change to an industry that needs it.

In this role you will be advising clients on how to reduce the environmental impact of different buildings through the use of systems like BREEAM, HQM and DREAM. You will be responsible for compiling environmental suitability reports, which will help assess the environmental impact of buildings based on energy, pollution, waste, land use and materials used.

This is a full time opportunity starting in April/May
