Description
Senior Building Physics Engineer
London
£35,00 - £45,000
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the development and delivery of building physics assessments, energy modeling, and performance analysis for a variety of projects.
Provide expertise on building energy efficiency, including compliance with Part L and Part O of the Building Regulations, ensuring buildings meet or exceed the required energy performance standards.
Perform dynamic simulation and thermal comfort analysis using IES software, applying advanced modeling techniques to predict energy consumption, daylighting, and thermal performance.
Conduct operational energy performance analysis and advise on energy-saving measures following TM54 guidelines to ensure post-occupancy energy performance is optimized.
Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams (architects, mechanical engineers, etc.) to provide technical advice on building design strategies that minimize energy use and reduce carbon footprint.
Prepare detailed technical reports and documentation for building performance assessments, regulatory compliance, and energy certifications.
Ensure compliance with sustainability standards, such as BREEAM, LEED, or WELL, as applicable to projects.
Lead client meetings and presentations, providing technical guidance and recommendations on energy efficiency and building performance.
Mentor and support junior engineers, providing training and development opportunities to strengthen the team's capabilities.
