Your role and impact:

You will play a leading role in growing Bioregional’s new build sustainability consultancy offer, combining strong project delivery with commercial acumen and proactive business development. This dual‑focus role requires you to originate, develop, and convert new opportunities while providing high‑quality, credible technical advice to clients, ensuring both commercial success and genuine impact. As a trusted sustainability adviser, critical friend, and champion across a portfolio of new build clients and projects, you will deliver robust insights on energy, carbon, and broader sustainability, and embrace a holistic, people‑shaped perspective, ensuring sustainability goals support thriving, inclusive communities aligned with our One Planet Living vision.

You will also take responsibility for identifying and securing further work, including following up enquiries and leads, building relationships with new clients, and growing existing accounts into long‑term partnerships.

Scope:

You will lead between five and seven active projects, acting as both account manager and technical adviser, ensuring excellent delivery while seeing opportunities to extend and deepen client relationships and support their sustainability journey. You will work closely with colleagues, supporting them to deliver high‑quality outputs across a range of new build projects and contribute to ongoing technical development. The role requires a strong commercial instinct, a proactive pursuit of new opportunities, representation at events and conferences, and responsiveness to client and senior team needs, with occasional UK‑based travel.
