Overview
We are seeking a technically strong early career Sustainability and Carbon Consultant to join the Engineering & Design Sustainability team within our Buildings & Places practice. The role combines project delivery, carbon analysis and wider sustainability advice, helping multidisciplinary teams turn evidence backed sustainable design aspirations into practical and implementable design solutions.
The role focuses on whole-life and embodied carbon, alongside broader holistic sustainability advisory services for new-build, retrofit projects and master planning projects. You will support clients and multidisciplinary design teams from feasibility and strategy through design, delivery and construction. Your work will include setting project-specific sustainability goals, developing carbon baselines and performance targets, identifying hotspots, testing options and supporting practical reductions through the PAS 2080 carbon reduction hierarchy, circular-economy principles, sustainable material selection, passive design and a fabric-first approach.
You will also develop and deploy bespoke project sustainability frameworks, working with multidisciplinary teams to set and deliver project-specific targets across environment, climate adaptation, resources, energy, economics, connectivity, community and wellbeing.
You will take ownership of agreed project workstreams and smaller commissions, while working within established technical assurance, resourcing and project‑management arrangements. You will contribute to effective project delivery through collaboration and knowledge-sharing, while continuing to build your technical capability and experience.
AtkinsRéalis is one of the world's leading design, engineering and project management consultancies. Our Buildings Sustainability team supports high-profile projects across cities and development, education, residential, aviation, defence, energy and manufacturing. As part of a collaborative and supportive team, you will work alongside sustainable design specialists while developing your technical expertise, client-engagement skills and project-delivery experience.
Your role
- Deliver whole life and embodied carbon assessments for new-build and retrofit building projects, including baseline assessments, hotspot analysis, design optioneering and carbon reduction recommendations.
- Develop and maintain building carbon models using project information from architectural, structural and building services design teams, cost plans, bill of quantities or site information.
- Develop, implement and report project-specific sustainability and carbon strategies throughout the design process, translating agreed objectives into measurable targets, coordinated actions and clear recommendations.
- Provide technical advice on circular economy principles, sustainable materials selection, waste minimisation, energy efficiency, passive and low-carbon design solutions.
- Contribute to multidisciplinary sustainability and carbon workshops, clearly communicating technical findings to clients and design teams.
- Prepare high-quality technical reports, presentations and client deliverables, ensuring outputs are robust, accurate and accessible to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Support the management of smaller commissions, including task planning, programme coordination, budget monitoring, quality checks and timely escalation of delivery risks.
- Contribute to bids and proposals through technical and quality content preparation.
- Contribute to the development of team capability by sharing knowledge and learning, supporting colleagues where appropriate, participating in internal training, and actively developing your own technical skills and experience.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across AtkinsRéalis to integrate carbon and sustainability considerations into building design and delivery.
- Occasionally represent AtkinsRéalis at industry and networking events with professionalism.
