Job Description
Graduate Sustainable Building Energy Optimisation Champion
(aka. Building Physics Consultant)
Bristol & London
ABOUT THE ROLE
MACH is a friendly, approachable, driven and technically adept company. We are seeking Physic, Engineering or similar graduates to join our team in Bristol, developing designs for modern low carbon and energy efficient buildings. You will be taught a wide range of skills to develop such buildings.
YOU & MACH
We are seeking highly motivated Graduate Building Energy Optimisation Champions (aka. Building Physics Consultants). We are looking for candidates with a positive attituded towards developing their analytic, practical, and technical skills, such to design greener, more sustainable buildings.
You will play a crucial role at MACH and be part of a new rapidly expandinggroup, with a strong and developed training strategy for creating hybrid consultants. You will learn how to model the spread of sound around buildings, understand regulations relating to overheating, assess day lighting levels, undertake practical site work, and investigate code based solutions to design problem (should this be an area of interest). We have an approach of letting staff form their own job role, by supporting all our staff through their journey at MACH, with graduates regularly working with directors and the company owners on a daily basis.
MACH began as an independent acoustic consultancy firm with a clear goal to drive the energy use of building down. You might think this is challenging for a company who’s knowledge base is about sound and how it interacts with the buildings we use, so for further information please check out our TED talk at the following link;
