Key Responsibilities

- Manage and mentor a growing team of consultants, supporting professional development and maintaining high technical standards.
- Oversee project delivery to ensure high-quality outputs, on-time and on-budget.
- Act as a trusted advisor to clients - facilitating workshops, technical reviews and strategic conversations.
- Represent the business in industry groups, events and thought leadership activities.
- Play a key role in business development - including networking, proposal writing and client engagement.
- Help shape the future direction of WLCA services, exploring tools, innovation and best practice.

Requirements
Essential:
- 5+ years' experience delivering WLCA and embodied carbon assessments in a consultancy environment.
- Deep technical knowledge of whole life carbon, LCA tools (OneClick LCA, eTool or similar), and relevant policy/guidance.
- Proven ability to manage and grow teams, mentor junior staff and maintain high standards under pressure.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills - able to engage with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong client-facing and business development experience, with a track record of building relationships and winning work.
- Passion for sustainability, innovation and creating positive change in the built environment.

Desirable:
- Chartered or working towards professional accreditation (e.g. IEMA, RICS, CIBSE).
- Experience working on BREEAM, LEED, WELL or other sustainability certification schemes.
- Interest in circular economy, materials reuse, digital twins or building performance.

Why Join the team?
- Offering a salary up to £75,000 (depending on experience).
- Competitive benefits package.
- Central London office with hybrid working for flexibility and balance.
- A genuinely supportive and collaborative culture - where your ideas, wellbeing and development are valued.
- Regular social events, learning sessions and team away days.
- The chance to work on some of the UK's most exciting and impactful sustainability projects.
- A platform to grow your leadership and technical influence in a fast-growing consultancy.
