Are you a Surveying professional passionate about tackling the climate emergency? Do you want to be part of Changeworks – Scotland’s leading environmental charity delivering solutions for low carbon living?

About the role

We act as a Managing Agent for Local Authorities and Housing Associations delivering a range of energy efficiency and decarbonisation projects working in homes across Scotland. You will work within the Technical Directorate to deliver domestic retrofit projects as the client’s representative carrying out procurement and commercial and contractual management ensuring projects are delivered to budget and to a high standard.

About you

You will understand the complexities of procurement, contractor valuations, change management and budget control helping successfully deliver multi-faceted housing retrofit projects driving quality and achieving high impacts in challenging timescales. You will be adept at developing relationships and working in partnership, a skilled communicator managing and motivating your team.

Benefits

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.

At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.
