Head of Decarbonisation in England

Job description

We’re partnered with a leading UK building, infrastructure, engineering and fit-out company who are looking for a passionate and technically skilled sustainability professional to help shape the future of low-carbon construction across the UK. If you're ready to make a real impact in the built environment, this is your opportunity to lead from the front.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Innovation: Lead the development of Net Zero Carbon (NZC) strategies for new builds, refurbishments, and retrofits - bringing fresh thinking and practical solutions to every stage of the project lifecycle.
• Empower Teams: Support the Business Development teams with the knowledge and tools they need to have confident, informed conversations with clients about decarbonisation.
• Win Work: Take the lead on crafting compelling, high-quality NZC bid responses that help secure meaningful, future-focused projects.
• Be a Voice: Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and forums - raising their profile as a trusted leader in sustainable construction.
• Shape the Future: Use data, design insights, and delivery experience to influence national decarbonisation strategies and help define what great looks like in low-carbon building.

Who We’re Looking For

• Carbon Confident: You’re up to date with UK NZC standards and have hands-on experience delivering decarbonisation across public sector projects.
• Well-Connected: You’ve built trusted relationships in the industry and understand how to bring client projects to market through established frameworks.
• Digitally Fluent: You’re comfortable using tools like One Click LCA and digital design models to inform carbon optioneering and decision-making.
• Great Communicator: You can translate complex technical ideas into clear, engaging messages for a wide range of audiences - from clients to colleagues.
• Strategic and Practical: You understand the full building lifecycle and know how to embed carbon reduction at every stage - from concept to aftercare.

This role offers flexible hybrid working, national project exposure, and the chance to be part of a team that’s transforming the built environment.
