If you want to be in the engine room of real decarbonisation delivery, not just writing reports about it this is a role worth serious consideration.

This position sits at the heart of an active sustainability and retrofit programme, supporting the Sustainability Manager in coordinating and delivering projects that tangibly improve energy performance, reduce carbon emissions, and tackle fuel poverty across the borough.

You won't be observing from the sidelines. You'll be directly involved in planning, coordinating, and tracking work across multiple live projects.

• SHDF Delivery – Supporting the delivery of Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund schemes, ensuring compliance with PAS 2030 / PAS 2035, funding conditions, and reporting requirements. This includes insulation, ventilation, heating upgrades, and EPC improvement works.
• Warm Homes & Retrofit Case Studies – Contributing to Warm Homes initiatives and helping capture case studies that demonstrate the real‑world impact of retrofit investment – both in carbon reduction and resident affordability.
• Solar PV & Renewable Funding – Supporting solar panel projects and assisting with funding evidence, performance tracking, and reporting to ensure installations deliver measurable carbon savings and financial benefits.
• EV Charging Infrastructure – Supporting the coordination of EV charging rollout across sites, liaising with contractors, managing data, and helping maintain delivery timelines.
• Heat Networks – Playing a key operational role in monitoring and improving heat network performance – collecting efficiency data, coordinating surveys and contractor access, maintaining metering and billing compliance records, and supporting plant optimisation works.

• Supporting project scopes, specifications, and programme coordination
• Monitoring contractor and consultant performance
• Collecting and analysing EPC, SAP, carbon, and heat network data
• Assisting with funding compliance, audit packs, and KPI reporting
• Coordinating site visits, surveys, and commissioning activities
• Supporting resident communication and access arrangements
• Ensuring robust documentation and fully auditable records

Fun fact:
Buildings account for around 40% of the UK's total carbon emissions. That makes housing retrofit one of the single biggest levers we have to reach net zero – and roles like this are directly contributing to that shift.

If this sounds like something you'd be open to exploring, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation and share more details.

Even if the timing isn't quite right, feel free to stay in touch. I regularly work on similar sustainability, estates, and asset management contracts and would be glad to keep you in mind for future opportunities aligned with your goals.
