The Role
You will be expected to have a minimum of 6-years' experience and competence in most of the following fields:
Actively collaborating with and leading project teams to identify and resolve façade-related technical challenges.
Developing design information, including presentations and specifications, and providing façade guidance and advice.
Recommending cladding strategies and detailed interface solutions, emphasizing holistic project outcomes.
Building envelope hygrothermal and solar performance
Building Regulations Part L including SAP for residential buildings
Complex thermal assessments (2D, 3D, static and dynamic) of building envelope details
Knowledge of dynamic modelling of the building envelope in the context of energy consumption, carbon emissions, thermal comfort, and overheating risk assessments
Moisture migration through the building envelope and WUFI assessments
Knowledge of daylighting standards, calculations and relevant indexes
Although not strictly required, knowledge of scripting and visualisation of data will be considered as an important added value
The role will include carrying out the following tasks:
Supervising the day-to-day building physics tasks within the team
Organising and monitoring building physics resources within the team
Preparation of technical reports and performance specifications
Review of building physics related reports prepared by façade contractors
Presenting the work to Architects and Clients
Qualifications and Requirements
Degree qualified in Architecture, Engineering, Building Technology or a similar course.
6 years minimum working for a tier 1, UK based Façade Consultant.
Proven track record of completing comprehensive building envelope physics analyses on both commercial and residential buildings
Enthusiastic, keen to learn and develop. The ability to fit into a vibrant, varied and talented team.
Sustainability has become a fundamental driver in the design and delivery of facades, as developers, architects and tenants demand a greener building, better aligned with today's more responsible attitude towards the environment. The consultancy's service includes proactive consideration of these issues, which now form a square of design drivers, which once extended to cost, quality and programme alone.
They understand the importance of embodied Carbon and recycled content in aluminium curtain walling facades and are close to system suppliers and sub-contractors to ensure that an onerous specification can still be delivered, with multiple procurement options, in a competitive market. They also understand the glass supplier market and the limitations/opportunities open to a project, to buy a more sustainable product.
The consultancy is looking to reuse natural stone from buildings to be demolished on sites and reinstate this on the newly designed facades on multiple projects.
Primarily, the consultancy is working on buildings with Passivhaus performance aspirations, pushing boundaries in air-tightness and thermal performance requirements. Their Building Physics specialists are expert in the analysis of facades to deliver these targets.
Their knowledge of materials and construction allows alternative solutions to be tested, which puts sustainability and environmental responsibility at the forefront of what we do.
Company benefits include employee ownership and associated bonuses thereof, performance bonuses, 26 days of annual leave increasing with service, Vitality health insurance, hybrid working, as well as shared parental leave.
