Description

Thrive on openness, respect and collaboration? Good. Us too. Join us tolead our Sustainability Advisory practice and create transformative outcomes for people, planet and places. This is an opportunity to build and shape an impactful new Advisory practice, harnessing our deep domain expertise in the built environment. We intend to appoint this role at either Director or Partner (direct entry) level, depending on experience.

Here at Buro Happold, expect the exceptional.

From the projects you will work on to the clients we work with. From career-defining opportunities to an inclusive and diverse practice where we all contribute to a more equitable world. From our reputation to our relationships. Wherever your Buro Happold career takes you, it'll be anything but ordinary.

Your next role

Buro Happold has made clear statements of intent in responding to the climate and biodiversity emergencythrough our projects and through our collaborations with clients.

We see enormous opportunities to create a Sustainability Advisory 'practice' within Buro Happold that combines strategic advisory, management consultancy and technical insight, built on a solid foundation of technical and subject matter expertise and experience. There will be a particular focus on developing and implementing ESG strategies for organisations.

The Sustainability Advisory Leader will draw up upon existing BH consulting teams and capabilities as well as building something new to take us to the next level.

Existing teams include:

Digital advisory

These teams work at different scales in the built environment with a core focus on buildings and masterplans but also operating at portfolio or city levels.

They, in turn, are underpinned by core design-focussed engineering disciplines including structures, MEP, infrastructure, facades and other specialists.

Over the last 2-3 years we have been building our global sustainability advisory capability focusses on 6 key areas:

ESG consulting
Net zero carbon
Climate resilience
Circular economy
Social impact
Biodiversity & Nature

Some of these areas are now well established with existing clients, projects, methods and capability whilst others are more emergent. What is common, though is a desire to scale these propositions into becoming a significant, sustainable piece of business that is focussed on understanding and creating advisory solutions for client opportunities and challenges by drawing upon an interconnected set of thinkers, innovators, collaborators and subject-matter specialist across the practice as well as external collaborators.

What will you be doing?

This role will see you leading the growth of a Sustainability Advisory practice within the UK. Building on our current services and clients, you will shape our advisory strategy and design our approach to Sustainability Advisory.

You will shape strategic direction for Advisory services, provide technical leadership (SME), drive business growth, and foster a culture of innovation.
