Colliers International is a leading commercial real estate services company, providing a full range of services to real estate occupiers, developers and investors on a local, national and international basis. 

As the environmental and sustainability agenda evolves, Colliers recognises the importance of providing market leading advice to our clients.

The impact of sustainability on real estate cannot be underestimated and we want to ensure that we are providing the latest intelligence to our developer, investor and occupier clients.

We are looking for someone who can combine knowledge of the evolving carbon neutral landscape with commercial understanding of how to incorporate this into our services, whether in our transactional or consultancy teams.

The ideal candidate will have existing knowledge, and a passion for continual education on the evolving topics, on how carbon net zero targets and the wider sustainability agenda impacts real estate of all property types (offices, industrial, retail, hotels & leisure etc..).  This should complement a commercial understanding, and ability to engage with all of our internal teams, to develop market leading advice in all of our business areas.  The role will require very strong communication skills, and an ability to confidently lead consultations with groups of people.

The role will require high levels of engagement and consultation with internal stakeholders and may at times be called upon to engage with external clients.  We are looking for someone who can prioritise those topics of real value to our clients, and translate this for our existing surveyors, providing commercial value-added intelligence.  For that reason, we are keen to talk to someone with business development experience in this arena.

This role will also likely be involved in developing our inhouse carbon neutral agenda.

Responsibilities

• Maintain cutting edge knowledge of the carbon zero/neutral and wider sustainability agenda to ensure that Colliers is fully informed.
