About us

At Bip.Verco we are passionate about sustainable and regenerative transformation. Our ambition is to make sustainability a powerful engine of innovation and competitiveness – empowering companies to actively shape a better future.

For over 35 years, our team have turned insight into impact, creating lasting value through data-driven thinking, expert guidance, and real-world solutions. We believe sustainable transformation succeeds only when it is integrated into strategy, decision-making and operations. So we combine data-driven analysis, deep industry expertise, and real-world execution to support companies worldwide in translating their sustainability ambitions into concrete outcomes, helping them innovate, build resilience, and contribute meaningfully to global climate and sustainability goals.

Our Sustainable Transition team delivers tangible, sustainable improvements in the value chain, reducing risks and impacts while enhancing business efficiency and competitiveness.

About this role

This role sits within our Building Performance and Resilience team which is part of our Sustainable Transition (Delivery) group. We work with market leaders in commercial real estate to develop innovative global carbon reduction strategies. Our clients are building owners, real estate investors and developers and our Building Performance and Resilience service acts on clients’ strategic sustainability aspirations, breaking them down into implementable carbon/energy/ adaptation action plans and projects.

As a Senior Consultant, you bring experienced capability and leadership to the technical management and delivery of complex energy management and building optimisation projects for Bip.Verco’s clients. You work directly with clients, largely in Real Estate, to turn their aims into a reality through site audits, monitoring and proposing short-term data solutions to optimise efficiency.

By engaging with a wide range of key stakeholders on a day-to-day basis, you’re able to impact the management of sustainability risks and realise opportunities.

As part of our Building Performance and Resilience team, you contribute to and manage projects that cover the following services:

1. Readiness assessment of client organisations to deliver sustainable savings.
2. Identifying and prioritising the most cost-effective opportunities, including technological, behavioural and HVAC optimisation initiatives.
3. Supporting and building compelling business cases for achieving staged and pragmatic energy and cost reduction.
4. Delivering services and opportunities, with a guaranteed outcome and savings verified.
5. Although you are part of the Building Performance and Resilience team, you will have opportunities to work on other projects within our wider real estate and commercial/industrial teams, giving you the runway to develop as well as share your knowledge.

Although this role is designated to one team, there will be opportunities to work across the company on a range of projects and different clients.
