ABOUT RESERO

Resero is a holistic building services engineering consultancy offering a wide array of strategic and technical skills and services. These range from building digital twins to traditional mechanical, electrical and public health (MEP) advice and design. This unique combination helps asset owners and managers move from simply setting sustainability targets to achieving real, net-zero outcomes.

We are an innovative and forward-thinking company involved in unique software development as well as research partnerships with local universities.

THE ROLE

We are now seeking to recruit an ambitious and talented individual to help the directors lead on the next phase of our rapid growth as a company. The Associate Director will take an active role in developing the business and services, managing and prioritising client requirements as well as lead and develop a small but rapidly growing team of digital engineering and sustainability consultants.

A key remit of the job will be to ensure that all IES modelling outputs are accurate and to the highest standards. The successful applicant will also be able to balance the legislative requirements with the innovative thinking required to meet and beat the net zero carbon challenge in existing buildings. The role will also require experience and knowledge of ApacheHVAC, an understanding of how buildings really operate and experience in delivering BREEAM credits.

Resero is a delivery partner for NABERS UK and the successful applicant will take a key role in shaping our service offer in relation to this new rating system and how it interacts with EPC requirements.

Our conceptual designs are highly likely to be implemented in the assets that we support on which makes this a unique and exciting opportunity to see projects through from concept to full operation and to play a key role in the drive to achieve real net-zero.

• Supervise and manage a high-performing team; helping them develop their skills.
• Identify and lead on business development opportunities.
• Issue clear and concise client facing reports and technical documents. 

ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

• A degree in engineering or the sciences (BEng or BSc)
• Five years' experience in IES VE (for exceptional candidates we might consider reducing this to three years)
