• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to inspire clients and team members alike.
• Passion for sustainable design and aligned with our commitment to climate-positive outcomes.
• A proactive and autonomous approach – you are a doer, someone who thrives on making things happen, problem-solving, and taking ownership.
• The ability to prioritise and to think strategically about the timing and way of delivering project information.
• The ability to identify project resource requirements.

In return for your expertise, leadership, and commitment, we offer:
