• Collaborating with our Acquisition, Development and Design teams to embed energy efficiency and sustainable design into new gym openings and major refurbishments.

• Managing relationships with utility suppliers, contractors, consultants and technology partners to ensure high standards of delivery and value for money.

• Producing clear performance dashboards and management reporting that help our leadership team make informed decisions on sustainability investment.
