We have a supporting and collaborative culture and enjoy what we do! We are looking for like-minded and personable colleagues to strengthen the capabilities of our global team and lead our REC team.  Career progression is guaranteed for talented candidates.

At Ramboll we passionately believe that building physics and building performance modelling is an integrated part of the building services design process, and we encourage all our engineers to have the capability to run and manage their own building performance models.

You will be expected to manage your own project work as well as that of more junior engineers within the Ramboll Engineering Centre. You will be highly technically proficient in IES VE and capable of supporting and educating junior engineers within the Ramboll Engineering Centre.

We offer a highly supportive environment in which you can develop and grow in your role. For the right candidate there is the opportunity to progress, with increasing management and mentoring responsibilities as you grow in your role.

Your key attributes and responsibilities will be:

• Be Educated to Masters/ bachelor’s level in Engineering, Architecture or Built Environment and having gained relevant practical experience in a similar role, you have demonstrable knowledge and experience of building physics, particularly in relation to heat transfer, energy, comfort criteria, ASHRAE Guidance and other industry standards.
• Highly technically proficient in IES VE with the ability to perform modelling tasks to a high quality and with minimal supervision
• Have in depth-knowledge of dynamic simulation software’s including an understanding of climate-based daylighting analysis, operational energy calculation and life cycle analysis and life cycle costing is highly desirable.
• Check and quality assure the work of others in all technical aspects of building performance modelling in IES VE
• Mentor and assist with the development of engineers within the Ramboll Engineering Centre in building performance modelling and building physics
• Be responsible for the day-to-day running of projects, workload planning and delivery, and providing technical input as required
• Produce energy strategies for planning applications, carrying out both Domestic and Non-Domestic compliance assessments for Middle east, UK using IES VE
• Complete thermal comfort assessments following e.g. CIBSE TM52, CIBSE TM59, BB101 and UK Buildings Regulations Part O
• Produce Passive Design and Low and Zero Carbon Reports and Knowledge on ESTIDAMA/ MOSTERDAM/ LEED Certifications.

Personal qualities that will help you succeed in this role include:

• Passionate about engineering with an attitude of absolute intolerance for non-compliance in relation to people safety, environment or product quality.
• Should have a flexible attitude, in an environment with frequently changing deadlines and can be relied on to meet deadlines.
