Senior Specialist - Sustainability

Overview

Sustainability Engineer role in JLL's Net Zero Design Consulting team, supporting clients to decarbonise buildings, protect assets from climate change and deliver sustainable retrofit, fit-out or transaction projects in line with ESG goals.

What you'll do

• Review existing buildings from site surveys, as-built information, energy data and research, and quantify key energy performance factors.
• Create detailed thermal models to define a building's engineering and architectural requirements for NZC.
• Where necessary, build more complex models to system component level, such as Apache HVAC in IES.
• Carry out compliance modelling for BREEAM/LEED, Part L and EPCs.
• Analyse a building's engineering and building fabric factors to identify opportunities to improve performance.
• Align building analysis with related European building regulation issues associated with building performance.
• Develop building performance metrics to compensate where limited or no information is available.
• Undertake whole life carbon assessments using OneClickLCA. Training can be provided as required.
• Use strong Excel skills for analysis and present data clearly and effectively.

What you'll need

• A passion for sustainable and NZC buildings.
• Good verbal and written communication skills.
• Some building services engineering and design abilities.
• Competent in IES VE software and CIBSE TM 54 thermal modelling.
• Familiar with Part L/SAP modelling and up to date with proposed changes to these regulations.
• Competent in AutoCAD and able to read and comprehend AutoCAD/Revit drawings to create models.
• An understanding of industry bodies and standards for NZC buildings and sustainability in the built environment.
• An understanding of BREEAM and its energy-related credits, with strong knowledge of BREEAM MAT01 assessments.
• Good understanding of embodied carbon assessment, RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) and embodied carbon standards (ISO 14067, EN 15978, TM65, etc.); knowledge of one or two carbon standards.
• Ability to interrogate a material Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) to extract scope emissions, global warming potential (GWP) and non-EPD material disclosure interpretation.
• Ability to undertake embodied carbon modelling using OneClick LCA and other systems.
• Ability to read, interrogate and extract information from a bill of quantities (BoQ) to translate into project functional unit use.
• General understanding of project stages and associated scope emissions throughout the project lifecycle.
• Good Excel skills to manipulate output into the required format.
• Mechanical, Sustainability, Electrical, Mechatronics, Building Services, Architectural Engineering or other related engineering degree (Bachelor's at minimum).
• Junior Sustainability Specialist should have at least 4 to 5 years of experience.
• Proficient in embodied carbon modelling.
• Working knowledge of assessing embodied carbon benchmarks and developing decarbonisation pathways.

Nice to have

• Some experience of building services systems in a design capacity or similar.
• Knowledge of building fabric elements related to energy efficiency.
• Aspiring to attain Chartered status and understanding of the pathway to achieving it.
• Ideally familiar with IES Apache HVAC.
• Ideally competent in Revit.
• Knowledge or experience in OneClickLCA.
• Knowledge of the Passivhaus Standard.
• Experience in wider sustainability consulting, such as BREEAM, WELL and biodiversity.
• An ability to sketch ideas and communicate with sketches rather than written text.
