Are you a Smart Buildings/Places professional looking to shape the future of our planet? Buro Happold is looking to recruit a Senior Consultant to join our growing Digital Advisory team in the UK.
Your next role
Buro Happold’s Digital Advisory team focuses on delivering technology and information transformation to clients to enhance their financial, environmental, and social performance (the triple-bottom-line, across people, planet and places).
Our projects vary considerably; from defining the smart city technologies that will transform the resident, worker, or visitor experience of a bleeding edge city in the middle east, to developing a sophisticated data-driven 3D twin of a university campus to determine the most effective route to net zero carbon, to outlining how technology can add significant revenue streams across football clubs in the UK, to defining the team, processes and policies required for our clients to manage data quickly and securely... However, all our projects have engineering or ‘real-world’ asset expertise at their core and it is that, with our relentless focus on the triple-bottom-line, that makes us unique.
The team works across a range of consulting areas covering digital strategy and transformation, digital systems and solutions and data and analytics. We are looking for colleagues who want to collaborate with our other global offices, our experts in design, and technologists internally and externally to make a real-world difference.

To support this growth, we are looking for a Senior Consultant to further expand our technical and project leadership capacity, with a focus on Smart Buildings & Places projects.
