Opportunity Overview
The KTP aims to transform CARA_EPS into a data-driven retrofit company, positioning them the preferred partner for housing associations in their retrofit programs. The project aims to develop an integrated digital asset management (DAM) platform to address issues of unreliable property data and poor housebuilding procurement practices, which are common within the industry.
Key Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include enhancing retrofit assessment data transparency and accessibility, forecasting property energy performance, and decision-making in housing stock refurbishment. The platform will enable early verification of property/project specifications and ensure accurate measures. This will improve building energy efficiency and occupant well-being.
Key objectives:
- Lead the design and development of a Digital Asset Management Platform (DAMP) for housing retrofit and upgrade projects;
- Develop and deploy advanced machine learning models for property data analysis;
- Establish robust and reproducible data pipelines and ensure data quality across multiple sources;
- Collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements and deliver user-focused solutions;
- Drive digital transformation and change management within a traditionally low-tech sector; and
- Support the commercialisation and continuous improvement of the platform.
About the KTP Partner company
CARA EPS, established in 2021, specialises in retrofit net-zero upgrades and energy-efficient housing. They partner with housing associations and local authorities to meet Net Zero goals. Their innovative approach earned them the Innovation of the Year award at the Northwest Construction Awards 2022. They transformed an EPC G-rated property into an A-rated, decarbonised home with minimal fuel bills.
CARA EPS delivers end-to-end holistic retrofits including surveying (building, environmental, technical, digital), data analysis and verification, energy assessments, retrofit design & coordination, and full delivery of multi-measure programmes of work in retrofit and refurbishment. This is considered to challenge the traditional business models in the built environment of assumed data, and blanket measures.
What's in it for you?
You will be based full time at CARA EPS, working as part of the DAMP Team (Digital Asset Management Platform). This project presents a complex, high-impact challenge that requires a high-performing Associate capable of acting as a strong change agent.
You will be rewarded with the following;
- Competitive salary - and excellent pension scheme
- Annual leave entitlement (and working hours) as per CARA EPS
- Flexible working - we support a culture of flexible and agile working to help you find the right balance
- Professional development - we offer a comprehensive package of training and development opportunities to help you achieve your full potential and a KTP personal development budget of £5k over the duration of the project.
- Sustainable Salford - we have a commitment to be Net Zero by 2038 and embed sustainability in all aspects of university life.
