Role
Are you 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?
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. We are looking for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor to support the delivery of domestic retrofit projects.
Working closely with our Quantity Surveyors, you will support procurement for energy efficiency and heat and energy projects as well as the commercial management of project delivery and commercial reporting.
If you have the necessary experience to step into this role or are just starting your Quantity Surveying journey, then we want to hear from you.
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.
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.
