In this role you contribute to building performance and energy modelling projects across the UK, collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver low-carbon design solutions. You will engage with senior leadership to shape early-stage decisions and support a national capability with occasional travel to Plymouth. You’ll work on diverse sectors and mature digital modelling workflows, aiming to meet regulatory and green-building standards. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone growing expertise in building physics and sustainable design.
Responsibilities
Contribute to building physics workstreams—thermal, energy, daylight, overheating, natural ventilation, and comfort analysis.
Develop, review, and optimise energy strategies, TM54 assessments, and low-carbon design solutions.
Assess façade performance, passive design, solar control, and fabric optimisation.
Ensure compliance with UK regulations (Part L, TM52/TM59, EPC) and contribute to BREEAM/WELL/LEED credits.
Produce technical reports and present findings to internal teams and clients.
Collaborate with MEP, architecture, sustainability, and digital engineering teams to integrate building physics into design.
Support early-stage design decisions on massing, orientation, glazing, shading, and natural ventilation feasibility.
Promote adoption of digital modelling workflows and best practices across projects.
Mentor and share knowledge with junior engineers; participate in internal learning initiatives.
Key requirements
Experience in building physics, energy modelling, or building performance analysis in a consultancy.
Proficiency with IES-VE (or equivalent) including simulation, calibration, and QA.
Strong understanding of passive design, low-carbon buildings, façade performance, and building environmental behaviour.
Ability to deliver multi-disciplinary projects and clearly present technical information to teams.
Strong communication and presentation abilities
Collaborative/team player across multi-disciplinary teams
Mentoring and knowledge-sharing mindset
IES-VE or equivalent energy modelling tool
