The Energy Engineer will be responsible for delivering high-quality non-domestic energy audits and technical assessments across a range of client buildings. The primary focus of the role is on-site energy auditing, analysis, and reporting, supporting clients to identify practical, cost-effective energy and carbon reduction opportunities.
The role will involve conducting building surveys to recognised industry standards (e.g. ASHRAE Level 2, RIBA Stages 0–3, BS EN 16247), producing clear and credible audit reports, and supporting compliance requirements such as ESOS and non-domestic EPCs.
The Energy Engineer will work as part of the consultancy delivery team, contributing technical insight and robust analysis to support decarbonisation strategies and future project development, initially without overall design ownership or line management responsibility, but with the opportunity to grow and develop.

Quantify energy, carbon, and cost-saving opportunities with clear assumptions.
Produce clear, well-structured audit reports suitable for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Support the development of ESOS-compliant assessments, working under a Lead Assessor where required.
Contribute technical inputs into decarbonisation plans and building strategies.
3. Compliance & Certification Support
Support delivery of ESOS energy audits, including site assessments, analysis, and evidence packs.
