Key Responsibilities
Formulate and implement comprehensive decarbonisation strategies aligned with the organisation's net-zero and sustainability goals.

Good understanding of building pathology/asset condition surveys and how to translate findings into project specifications.
Solid leadership & communication skills: capable of motivating multi-disciplinary teams and working sensitively with vulnerable tenant/resident populations.
