About Focus 360 Energy

Focus 360 Energy is a fast-growing, multidisciplinary consultancy providing full end-to-end compliance solutions for the built environment — from early planning through to handover and in-use operation. We specialise in SAP, SBEM, TM59/TM52 Overheating, and Energy Statement assessments for new-build and conversion projects

Our clients range from architects and developers to housing associations and commercial landlords, with projects spanning single dwellings, multi-unit developments, and large commercial estates.

We specialise in:

• Energy & Sustainability Assessments (SAP, SBEM, EPC, Energy Statements)

• Overheating (TM59 / TM52)

• Whole Life-Cycle Carbon & Circular Economy Statements

• Daylight & Sunlight Assessments

• Decarbonisation & Net Zero Strategies

• BREEAM, Planning, and Environmental Compliance

We’re now expanding our in-house sustainability team to support national growth and new major partnerships — including high-profile portfolios such as MOD, Camden Market, Trident Group (900+ commercial buildings), and St Austell Brewery.

The Role

As a Sustainability Specialist, you’ll play a key role in delivering our energy and sustainability services, supporting clients from early design through to post-construction. You’ll collaborate with assessors, architects, and developers, providing technical expertise across SAP, SBEM, and IES modelling.

This role also offers exposure to wider sustainability initiatives, including Whole Life-Cycle Carbon, BREEAM, and Decarbonisation strategies — with clear professional development pathways into these areas.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out SAP and SBEM calculations and produce EPCs for domestic and non-domestic buildings

• Prepare Energy Statements for planning submissions (including London Plan compliance)

• Conduct Overheating Assessments in line with TM59 and TM52

• Support or lead on Whole Life-Cycle Carbon Assessments and Circular Economy Statements

• Undertake Daylight & Sunlight Modelling for residential and mixed-use developments

• Assist in producing Decarbonisation Reports and Net Zero Strategies for large-scale commercial estates

• Liaise with clients, local authorities, and design teams to provide clear technical advice

• Contribute to mentoring junior assessors and developing internal methodologies

About You

We’re looking for someone proactive, technically skilled, and commercially aware — someone who wants to grow within a business that values initiative and ambition. We’re particularly interested in candidates with strong technical modelling experience — rather than general sustainability or ESG backgrounds

Essential:

• Minimum 2 years’ experience producing SAP, SBEM or TM59 assessments for UK Building Regulation compliance

• Proficiency with IES-VE, Elmhurst, or equivalent SAP/SBEM/TM59 software

• Strong understanding of UK Building Regulations Part L and energy compliance frameworks

• Experience preparing Energy Statements for planning

• Degree in Environmental Design, Building Physics, or Sustainability Engineering

Desirable:

• Experience with BREEAM (Assessor or AP) or willingness to requalify (supported)

• Familiarity with OneClick LCA, TM54, or energy auditing (ESOS)

• Experience producing Whole Life-Cycle Carbon or Decarbonisation Reports

• Knowledge of daylight/sunlight or natural ventilation modelling

What We Offer

• Structured training programme with clear development milestones

• Fully remote working (with optional London meet-ups)

• Company-provided equipment (phone and laptop)

• Private medical insurance

• Professional memberships (IES, Elmhurst, CIBSE) covered

• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays

• Quarterly team days and industry events in London

• Genuine progression opportunities — including leading your own sustainability team as we scale

Why Join Us

At Focus 360 Energy, you’re not just a number — you’re part of an ambitious, growing business redefining compliance and sustainability in the UK.
• You’ll gain exposure to a diverse portfolio — from single dwellings to complex commercial estates — and work alongside leading developers, architects, and engineers who share your passion for creating low-carbon, compliant, and future-ready buildings.
