The Opportunity

We have an opportunity for a Senior Sustainability Consultant to join our creative and friendly sustainability team driving delivery of sustainable outcomes on our projects.

The specific need is for a Senior Sustainability Consultant to work across our West region (Bristol, Cardiff, and Southampton/Winchester offices) who can choose to be located in one of these offices.

Our Winchester office will be relocating to Southampton in mid-2024.

You will be part of a collaborative team of over 240 Engineers in our West offices.

Our team have worked on an array of amazing projects in the UK and internationally including Abu Dhabi International Airport, St.

We deliver cutting edge projects with a strong focus on sustainability which helps facilitate the transition to net zero carbon for both new build and retrofit projects.

The West Sustainability team provides strategic advice to a range of clients on sustainability in the built environment, including developing sustainability strategies for masterplans and individual buildings.

This includes the development of bespoke sustainability targets and implementation plans for individual projects, analysis of energy use and carbon impacts and process improvement to support better sustainability outcomes.

Increasingly these strategies include development of pathways to Net Zero Carbon both at masterplan and building level, and assessments of the whole life carbon (WLCA) impacts of our projects.

We also undertake a range of environmental and energy assessments using third-party assessment methodologies such as BREEAM, LEED, WELL, Fitwel etc.

We provide sustainability and wellness advice to clients on a range of wider issues related to the built environment as well as considering building performance optimisation for client's existing buildings and assets.

At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective - in which we encourage individuality to thrive. Our strength comes from how we respect, share and connect our diverse experiences, perspectives and ideas.

You will have the opportunity do socially useful work that has meaning - to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve.

Is this role right for you?

You will be responsible for taking a leading role in delivering sustainability analysis and advice, environmental and carbon assessments across a range of projects, developing our clients aspirations towards Net Zero Carbon.

You will have responsibility for the delivery of sustainability on our projects, including bespoke strategies as well as assessment methodologies including BREEAM, LEED, WELL, Fitwel etc.

As a senior member of the team you will review documentation provided by project teams, assess this against the project's targets and provide feedback.

You will also have the opportunity to assist in preparing bids and proposals for new work and attend site visits to review progress against sustainability targets.
