A growing, design-led sustainability and engineering consultancy is looking to appoint an Associate or Associate Director to help drive the next phase of growth from its Oxford office.

This is a strategic role for an experienced sustainability leader who enjoys building client relationships, winning work and developing teams - not just delivering projects.

The Role
You will play a key role in expanding the business's presence across the Oxford and wider South East market, working closely with senior leadership to grow both revenue and capability.

Key responsibilities include:

* Building and managing long-term client relationships across key sectors such as science, education, commercial and research.

* Leading business development and work-winning, including proposals, bids and client engagement.

* Acting as a senior advisor to clients, providing strategic sustainability and building performance guidance.

* Leading and overseeing delivery across Building Physics, Whole Life Carbon and Net Zero design.

* Growing and mentoring the local team, helping to build a high-performing, collaborative culture.

* Supporting the development and expansion of sustainability service lines as the business evolves.

About You
You will already be operating at Associate or Associate Director level within a consultancy environment and bring:

* A strong track record of developing client relationships and winning work.

* Experience leading projects and managing multiple client accounts.

* Broad expertise across Building Physics, operational energy, Whole Life Carbon or Net Zero strategy.

* Experience leading and developing teams.

* Commercial awareness and the ambition to play a visible role in growing a business.

Why Join?

* Join a consultancy in a high-growth phase, where senior hires can shape direction and influence strategy.

* Genuine opportunity to build a team, grow a client base and develop new service areas.

* Clear pathway toward senior leadership and future ownership opportunities.

* Strong work-life balance, including a 9-day fortnight and competitive benefits.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded sustainability leader who wants more influence, autonomy and long-term growth than a traditional Associate role can offer.
