WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING…

BREEAM is the World’s leading assessment method for buildings; from working towards net zero carbon to addressing health and social impacts. It’s effectively the project management of the environmental aspects of construction. You’ll be learning how to carry out these assessments. In time you’ll be managing several of these projects at once. You’ll be providing sustainability related advice to clients (for example, architects, engineers, and contractors). And making recommendations where improvements can be made, so assessments will be passed. TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

The business has a very good record of employing graduates, and many have gone on to successful careers with the business. Some have moved into more senior roles. You’ll learn a lot from experienced colleagues, and will quickly be given responsibility to manage your own work and time. There is a big focus on ongoing learning and development. You’ll be doing courses, and working towards professional accreditations. Going forward, there are other areas you can get involved in (for example, Life Cycle Assessments, and Energy Modeling), as the business likes the team to be multi-skilled. And as your skills develop, so will your pay. You should be on 30k within a year or so. WHAT YOU'LL NEED…

The graduates who have done well with the business already had some knowledge of, and interest in, BREEAM. So, this is preferred (though you don't need to have used it in a job yet). This is very much about working with buildings, not the broader environmental field. In terms of degree type, something Construction, Environmental Science, Sustainability, Geography, Architecture, Engineering, or Project Management related, would be ideal. But others may be considered if you have some interest in buildings and construction You'll need strong time management and organisational skills; in addition to good problem solving skills. There is also a building physics role available, using IES VE and CAD to analyse building performance. Start dates in December and January.
