About this role

This role sits within our C&I, Performance and Resilience team which is part of our Sustainable Transition (Delivery) Service.  We work with market leaders in Commercial & Industrial sectors to develop innovative global carbon reduction strategies.  Our clients are industrial manufacturers, and our C&I, Performance and Resilience service acts on clients’ strategic sustainability aspirations, breaking them down into implementable carbon/energy/adaptation action plans and projects.

As a Senior Consultant, you bring experienced capability and leadership to the technical management and delivery of complex energy management and factory optimisation projects for Bip.Verco’s clients.
