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. You work directly with clients, largely in Manufacturing and Industrial, to turn their aims into a reality through site audits, monitoring and proposing data solutions to optimise Energy & Utilities efficiency.
