HIP V. HYPE is a multidisciplinary consultancy committed to delivering commercially grounded, evidence-based solutions for a better built environment. We are ambitious yet pragmatic — and where an evidence base doesn't exist, we seek to create it.
Our work spans three integrated teams:
* Better Business - advisory for built environment businesses seeking to mitigate risk and maximise opportunity related to ESG and climate change.
* Better Cities & Regions - research, strategy and advisory to develop and respond to policy for more sustainable, integrated and prosperous cities and regions.
* Better Buildings - management, engineering and design services to optimise the delivery and operation of better buildings.
ROLE SUMMARY
* Permanent full time position

We are accepting Expressions of Interest for Consultant and Senior Consultant positions across our Better Cities & Regions and Better Business teams. These roles support the delivery of sustainability outcomes at a city, precinct, policy and organisational scale.
The successful candidate will apply technical skills and analytical frameworks to support both areas of the business to drive effective and ambitious integration of environmental, social and economic sustainability in the built environment.
