- Prepare high-quality reports, presentations, and technical documentation for clients and stakeholders.
- Support business development activities through proposal preparation, tender responses, and client engagement.
- Mentor junior team members and contribute to the development of technical standards and best practice across the business.

About You

You enjoy working collaboratively with clients and technical teams, helping to translate energy and carbon data into practical recommendations and measurable outcomes. You are analytical, organised, and comfortable managing multiple projects whilst maintaining high standards of quality and client service.

Essential Experience & Qualifications
- Demonstrable experience delivering ESOS assessments and energy auditing activities.
- Strong understanding of SECR requirements, greenhouse gas reporting methodologies, and carbon accounting principles.
- Experience analysing energy consumption data and identifying opportunities for efficiency improvements.
- Excellent research, analytical, and report writing skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other data analysis tools.
- Full UK Driving Licence and willingness to travel for client meetings and site visits.
