Strategic Influence & Buy-in
Your ability to persuade and gain genuine commitment from senior leadership and operational teams for sustainability initiatives.
  • You'll be proactively consulted on major investment decisions, your proposals will consistently secure funding, and operational teams will actively champion your initiatives on the ground. People will come to you for advice, not just because they have to.
Team Leadership & Development
How effectively you lead, mentor, and develop your direct reports, building a high-performing and engaged team.
  • Your team members will show clear career progression, consistently meet their objectives, and report high levels of job satisfaction. You'll be known for growing talent and creating a supportive, challenging environment.
Regulatory Preparedness & Risk Mitigation
Our ability to anticipate and proactively respond to evolving environmental regulations, avoiding fines and ensuring future-proof assets.
  • We won't face any unexpected regulatory penalties. Our strategy will clearly address upcoming changes like tightening MEES or new CSRD requirements, and our assets will be positioned to meet future standards, reducing 'stranded asset' risk.
Data Integrity & Reporting Quality
The accuracy, completeness, and reliability of our energy and sustainability data, forming the bedrock of all our reporting and decision-making.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Environmental Impact

You'll feel genuinely motivated by seeing real reductions in energy consumption and carbon emissions, knowing your work contributes to a greener planet.

The satisfaction of seeing the annual emissions report show a significant drop, directly attributable to projects you championed.

Solving Complex, Multi-faceted Problems

You thrive on the challenge of unpicking complicated issues like 'split incentives' or integrating disparate data sources to find a solution.

Successfully developing a new lease clause that incentivises tenants to share energy data, overcoming a long-standing challenge.

Building & Leading a High-Performing Team

You'll enjoy coaching and developing your team, seeing them grow in their careers and collectively deliver impressive results.

Mentoring a junior analyst who eventually takes ownership of a major reporting stream, freeing you up for more strategic work.

What frustrates people
  • The constant battle for capital expenditure against projects with shorter paybacks.
  • Spending 40% of your time cleaning and validating inaccurate utility data from various sources.
  • Being asked to deliver ambitious ESG targets that aren't fully backed by budget or organisational buy-in.
  • Operational apathy: brilliant energy-saving initiatives failing because on-site teams are too busy or don't see it as their priority.
  • The 'Split Incentive' wall: identifying great projects that save thousands, but are blocked because the landlord pays and the tenant benefits.
  • Regulatory whiplash: just as you've aligned to one set of ESG regulations, a new, more complex one is announced, forcing a major pivot.
  • The tenant data black hole: trying to calculate a whole-building carbon footprint when half your tenants refuse to share their energy data.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely theoretical or academic role – you're expected to deliver practical, measurable results.
  • A quiet, predictable environment – expect urgent requests, changing priorities, and constant negotiation.
  • Unlimited budget for every green initiative – you'll need to make strong business cases and prioritise shrewdly.
  • A role where you only focus on one specific area of sustainability; you'll need a broad remit.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes our environmental performance, influencing multi-million-pound investment decisions, reducing operational expenditure, and enhancing our market position as a responsible and forward-thinking property owner. It's about protecting asset value from climate risks and unlocking new opportunities.

Inside the business
  • Operations Directors & Property Managers
  • Finance & Investment Committee
  • Asset Management Team
  • Legal & Compliance
  • Marketing & Communications

  • External ESG Consultants & Auditors
  • Utility Suppliers & Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)
  • Green Building Certification Bodies (BREEAM, LEED, WELL)
  • GRESB, CDP, & other Reporting Organisations
  • Key Tenants & Occupiers

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven track record of leading and delivering large-scale energy and sustainability programmes within a significant property portfolio (minimum 12 years relevant experience, with at least 5 years in a leadership capacity).
  • Demonstrable experience in managing and developing a team of sustainability professionals.
  • Expertise in GRESB reporting, with a clear understanding of how to drive score improvements.
  • A strong grasp of financial modelling for sustainability investments, including ROI, payback, and lifecycle cost analysis.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with experience presenting to senior leadership and external stakeholders.
  • A relevant degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Real Estate, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Data Science for ESG & Predictive Analytics

We'll move beyond historical reporting to predictive modelling for energy, carbon, and even social metrics. This means using machine learning to forecast consumption, identify optimal intervention points, and model the impact of different strategies with greater accuracy.

Time Series Forecasting · Regression Analysis for Baseline Adjustments · Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection · Data Harmonisation & Integration

  • This quarter: Take an online course in Python for data science (focus on pandas, scikit-learn) or advanced R.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine having more time for strategic thinking, team leadership, and driving real change, rather than getting bogged down in repetitive tasks. AI isn't just a buzzword here; it's a practical tool that can genuinely transform how you deliver energy and sustainability initiatives.

In Realestate Facilities Management, you're constantly dealing with vast amounts of data—utility bills, BMS readings, regulatory documents. AI can step in to automate the mundane, flag critical issues, and even help you draft complex reports, giving you back precious hours every week. It's about working smarter, not just harder.

Automated Utility Bill Processing

Use AI with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to automatically scan, read, and extract key data (consumption, cost, dates) from thousands of PDF utility bills. It'll directly populate your energy management platform and flag any anomalies, saving your team countless hours of manual data entry and error checking.

Predictive Anomaly Detection

Leverage machine learning models to analyse real-time Building Management System (BMS) and meter data. The system predicts expected energy use based on weather, occupancy, and operational schedules. It then automatically flags buildings that are deviating from the norm, allowing your team to proactively investigate and fix issues before they become major problems.

ESG Regulation Summariser

Feed an AI assistant dense, newly released ESG regulations (like the EU's CSRD) or lengthy technical reports on green building technologies. It'll digest the information and provide you with a concise executive summary, highlighting the key impacts and actionable insights for our property portfolio in minutes, not hours.

First-Draft Reporting Assistant

Use generative AI to create the initial draft of narrative sections for your annual sustainability report, GRESB submission, or internal board updates. By feeding it your key data points, project summaries, and strategic goals for the year, you can get a solid starting point in a fraction of the time it would take to write from scratch.
