About BFY Carbon Strategies Ltd
BFY Carbon Strategies is the net zero operating partner for investment and asset managers. As specialists within real estate decarbonisation, we have the expectation delivering exceptional work for our hyper premium brand clients.
BFY Carbon Strategies is an impact business delivering profit with a purpose. We take an engineering-led approach to decarbonisation, merging actionable insights with our delivery expertise, to translate net zero ambitions into tangible results.
Our mission? We’re holding ourselves accountable by enabling our clients to remove the equivalent of one million tonnes of carbon by 2030.
Our clients trust us to solve their most challenging problem.
We’re a high performing team that looks after each other and we put a huge amount of effort into creating an environment that offers meaningful work, the opportunity to develop and grow and the ability to have fun whilst doing it.
What you’ll be doing
Although no day will be the same, the core responsibilities of a Net Zero Carbon Consultant at BFY Carbon Strategies are:
* Working closely with your clients to build trusted relationships to support BFY’s aim of working in partnership with our clients.
* Using your change management skills to assist your wider team in the planning and delivery of the overall project.
* Adopting a continuous improvement approach to solve difficult problems, drawing on your knowledge and experience and helping transfer that knowledge to our client teams.
* With support from the project team, finding every opportunity to create value for our clients.
* Communicating effectively to make sure your client teams understand the problem we’re there to solve and believe in the solution.
* Contributing to the culture at BFY by building strong relationships internally
* Contributing your knowledge to help build the capability BFY needs as we continue to grow both internally and for our clients.
* Driving your own development and finding opportunities to build on your skills.
You will be given huge amounts of trust, freedom, and support where you need it to deliver in your role.
We pride ourselves on providing our teams flexibility and control over their work and we aren’t a traditional consultancy working all hours and spending all week away from home. That said, meeting our clients’ expectations is critical and so your workload is likely to peak and trough, and there is an expectation of travel to client sites and our office in Nottingham.
