Atelier Ten is an innovative multidisciplinary firm of building services engineers environmental design consultants, and lighting designers focused on delivering high-quality building services design and sustainable design consultancy within the built environment sector. We aim to deliver highly sustainable design solutions based on the touchstones of environmental integrity, economic viability, and pragmatic engineering solutions. These principles are embedded in our collaborative and creative approach to problem solving and efficient resource utilisation.
We seek to reduce complexity. A core objective is to meet the needs of our clients by developing well-integrated buildings with simple systems that work with natural laws of physics to provide comfort while reducing energy consumption and contributing back to the greater environment. At Atelier Ten, we take a wider role in the design process than traditional building services engineers and consultants: in particular we work with the design team to integrate environmental moderation and control into the fabric of the building. From this improved basis we develop efficient and well-integrated building services systems to provide comfortable and efficient internal environments.
Atelier Ten has a history of innovation. Founded in 1990, we are not afraid to challenge conventional thinking. Our environmental ethos is not an additive one; rather we strive to make buildings do more with less by working from basic principles and employing rigorous analysis. Our success is built on the expert delivery of innovative and sustainable engineering solutions.
To support Atelier Ten’s continued success. We have established, and continue to maintain, efficient and effective business knowledge and quality management systems in order to provide our clients - in both the private and public sector - with first-class services covering the full range of design, construction, building services, engineering and maintenance disciplines, and by providing first-class project development and management services including an award-winning design solutions consultancy service.
The post holder will be responsible for supporting work on a range of projects assisting the delivery of environmental and sustainability advice on projects for both internal clients and external clients. This will involve providing consultancy on environmental design, sustainability benchmarking/implementation, building energy optimisation, daylight & shading design, sustainable systems, materials and waste. This consultancy will be demonstrated through sound analytics including building physics.
Projects will range from masterplanning to detailed design of specific buildings across all scales and locations of the globe. Using industry benchmark and internal standards, the post holder will ensure not only the timely delivery of accurate project information but also provide a point of contact between engineering staff and the other members of the environmental team.
