The Company

This company offers a structured, traditional workplace where clear expectations and strong work ethics are valued. It’s a fast-paced environment that suits individuals who take pride in being efficient, consistent, and reliable. If you're someone who appreciates hands-on training, development opportunities, and being rewarded for tangible contributions, you’ll find plenty of room to grow here. The company believes in recognizing effort through bonuses, team functions, and even a 9-day fortnight, creating a culture where hard work doesn't go unnoticed.

It’s a no-frills, straight-talking kind of place—ideal for those who value stability over flash, and loyalty over entitlement. While it's not for everyone seeking modern perks or a laid-back atmosphere, for the right person—someone grounded, grateful, and ready to earn their place—it can be a deeply rewarding, long-term home.

The Role

This client has a significant national workload, with over 400 JV3 assessments in the pipeline, making it one of the core focuses of the immediate role. As a starting point, your day-to-day responsibilities will be heavily geared toward energy modelling and compliance assessments specifically for JV3, playing a key role in helping deliver this high-volume demand efficiently and accurately.
Over time, however, the role will evolve to encompass the full spectrum of ESD services.

This includes contributing to Green Star and NABERS submissions, conducting Section J assessments, thermal comfort and daylighting analyses, lifecycle assessments, and broader sustainability strategy support. You’ll also be involved in client advisory, project management, stakeholder engagement, and technical reporting—supporting Net Zero goals through integrated design advice and coordination. It's a hands-on role with room to grow into a well-rounded ESD consultant.

We are seeking a candidate with

  • A bachelor’s degree in engineering, building services, or a related discipline (postgraduate qualifications highly regarded).
  • Proven experience conducting JV3 assessments and building energy modelling using tools such as DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus.
  • Strong working knowledge of NCC Section J compliance and energy efficiency regulations.
  • Practical skills in preparing technical reports and delivering efficient, code-compliant design solutions across a range of building types.

Benefits

  • Performance-based bonuses to recognise and reward genuine effort and contribution
  • Paid formal training and professional development to support your growth and upskilling
  • 9-day fortnight providing a regular extra day off to support work-life balance
  • Opportunities for career progression within a growing and well-established team
  • Exposure to a national portfolio of projects, offering variety and valuable experience
  • Structured onboarding and mentoring, with support from experienced professionals
  • Stable, long-term employment in a company with a consistent project pipeline
  • Inclusive team events and staff functions to encourage connection and recognition
  • Office-based environment with clear expectations and strong team collaboration

If you’ve been looking at roles like ESD Consultant, Energy Efficiency Assessor, Building Physics Engineer, Sustainability Consultant, or Section J / JV3 Assessor, this opportunity could be exactly what you're after. It offers a strong foundation in compliance and modelling work, with clear pathways into broader sustainability consulting and professional growth.
