Employer Description:

Method Consulting is a specialist Environmental Engineering and Sustainability Consultancy within the Built Environment sector. Our Head Office is in Swindon, with offices in London, Oxford, Bristol, Exeter, Cornwall and Cardiff. 

 

Our Building Services Engineers design the environmental systems within buildings, working closely with Architects, Structural Engineers and the rest of a project team. They are often the most front-facing lead of our departments and will decide on the environmental strategy, how the building will be heated or cooled, how water will be distributed, and they work closely with our Building Physics team. They work towards becoming a Chartered Engineer.

 

Our Digital Engineering Technicians, sometimes called Revit Technicians, bring our designs to life and coordinate closely with the other project team members to make sure all the designed systems can work in reality. They use computer software to digitise the designs, working in a complex 3d model. The technicians and engineers work very closely together. 

 

Our Sustainability Consultants work alongside the entire project team from the early stages right up until a building is complete, offering environmental advice and assessing projects against an environmental framework. They also conduct embodied carbon modelling of building projects, as part of the drive towards Net Zero Carbon. They work towards becoming a Chartered Environmentalist. 

Recognised as one of Building Magazine’s Top 150 Employers and as CIBSE Employer of the Year. Many of our projects have also received recognition through industry awards.
