ABOUT THE ROLE

An excellent opportunity is available to join Max Fordham as an experienced Passivhaus Designer to help deliver our growing portfolio of Passivhaus projects.

The role involves working with our Passivhaus team on a range of projects, including primary and secondary education, offices, university accommodation and archives, in both new build and refurbishment.

This is a client-facing role, requiring effective communication with stakeholders to clearly explain Passivhaus and the workflow required to deliver it.
