Senior Building Physics Engineer

£35000 - £50000 per annum Full package
 

Job Description

Senior Building Physics Engineer - To £50K

Would you like to work for a dedicated energy and environment consultancy and help champion health and wellbeing on a range of low and zero carbon buildings?

Established over 20 years ago, this specialist energy and environmental consultancy is widely regarded as one of the true pioneers of sustainable design. Their core business has always been reducing the environmental impact of new buildings and promoting a more regenerative, circular economy.

Rather than just focussing on the bog-standard Thermal Modelling for compliance, you'll get to develop skills in building performance engineering, emerging technologies and also thermal bridging analysis.

You'll be mentored by a Healthy Buildings expert and also develop new skills in environmental benchmarking tools such as Nabers, Passivhaus, Well, Leed or Breeam.

You'll also benefit from working in a very diverse team of energy engineers, technicians, architects and environmental engineers, which will ensure you develop a true understanding of how a building is designed, built and occupied.

Role

  • Championing environmental analysis and thermal bridging studies.
  • Carrying out energy performance analysis, MEP systems simulation, compliance analysis and microclimate analysis.
  • Promoting innovative low or zero carbon buildings.
  • Promoting the use of passive strategies such as natural ventilation, night time cooling, grey water recycling and thermal storage techniques.
  • Modelling buildings to demonstrate compliance with BS 5250
  • Running simulations using Trisco (or similar Thermal Bridging Software) to determine the hygrothermal performance of building components.
  • Running building simulations to minimise the risk of overheating.
  • Conducting R&D into new technologies or construction methods.
  • Helping developers, architects and investors design low or zero carbon buildings across the UK.

Requirements

  • At least three years' experience as a Building Physics Engineer.
  • Track record in assisting reducing the environmental impact of buildings by improving the quality of the design process and way they are constructed.
  • Solid experience in environmental design, indoor air quality, health and well-being and sustainable materials.

  • list Mechanical (Building Services) Engineer

    Mechanical (Building Services) Engineer - To £48K

    Quality of delivery, quality of staff, innovative projects, and a great company culture. These are the founding principles of this multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy based near Liverpool Street.

    Quality runs deep through the practice, and every project is overseen by a director all the way through the various RIBA stages. They produce quality designs that are low in energy and carbon, are properly coordinated and, actually fit within the space that was allocated by the client.

    In terms of recruitment, they only employ permanent staff with stable employment histories, as they would prefer to turn work away rather than employing average engineers to just churn out poor quality designs.

    Innovation exists across everything they do, they analyse every completed project, compare how the building is performing in use, and then use building performance engineering to improve the next project. They also continuously research and invest in new and emerging technologies, in order to make their existing software, processes or templates more efficient.

    And, they also adopt a bold approach to building design, never shying away from the opportunity of trying something totally new, to solve an issue or overcome a challenge. Recent examples include their use of stone bearing masonry rather than steel, their investment in R&D into the use of advanced phase change materials or their ability to use CLT on larger, complex structures.

    In terms of culture, the founding partners remain hands on and actively encourage all employees to make suggestions on how things can be improved. They operate an open plan studio environment, with MEP Engineers siting alongside the structural engineers, civil engineers, and BIM staff, which ensures constant collaboration. They have weekly and monthly social activities, and provide all staff with an annual bonus, and an annual salary review and increase.

    As an Mechanical Engineer, you'll get involved in designing and modelling a variety of low carbon, interesting buildings such as theatres, museums, galleries, schools, castles, cinemas, offices, churches, universities, and data centres.

    You'll work as part of a friendly, experienced, and supportive team of around 30 engineers on one off projects, typically from concept all the way through to construction.

    You will attend design team and site meetings, and liaise directly with clients, architects, and specialist external consultants. You will also carry out heating and cooling loads, size plants, ducts, or pipes, use Revit MEP to produce 3D models, and also ensure all projects adhere to CIBSE guidelines, British standards and also promote a circular economy.

    Requirements

    • At least two years' experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer,
    • Previous experience working directly with Architects.
    • Comfortable communicating technical terms, to a non-technical audience.
    • Easy to work with, able to work as part of a team.
