NZC Consultant / Architect Assistant
Reporting to the Studio NZC Lead and NZC Associate Director – Architecture, this role involves helping develop and deliver NZC advice and low‑energy/carbon solutions in architectural and multidisciplinary projects of varying type, size and complexity.
Project work is primarily within the public sector, including Defence and FCDO, complemented by residential and mixed‑use opportunities.
The successful candidate will be involved in developing new clients and opportunities and winning tenders.
Your Role
Working as part of our established NZC team, you will have a mandate to develop NZC design, modelling and reporting methodologies to complement our existing methods and working practices. You will be an essential part of our multi‑disciplinary team on a variety of new build and refurbishment projects, providing the expertise and knowledge to facilitate the delivery of climate‑resistant, low‑energy buildings. As part of this process, you will run Net Zero Workshops, and model and report on Whole Life, Embodied and Operational Carbon using tools such as LCA One Click Software and PassivHaus PHPP. You will also support winning new opportunities primarily in the public sector, working with Studio staff as well as other disciplines.
About You
