In this dynamic environment, you will be required to be self-driven and responsible for your own time management, performance, learning, sharing of knowledge, and achievement of results.
You will participate in design teams where your contribution will be expected to provide building physics consultancy services (energy and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling), and building sustainability assessment services e.g. via BREEAM, LEED, and WELL.
As a design team member, you will hold regular meetings to inform and advise clients. This will require excellent interpersonal and conversational skills, making the complex simple. Keeping up with new developments in your field of expertise is a must for this role, and it is expected that you will gain knowledge through research, contacts with suppliers, etc.
