The job description

Tech stack. eQUEST, EnergyPlus, OpenStudio, RETScreen, Trane TRACE, data loggers and power meters, IPMVP protocols, Excel financial models

About the role

You will join an energy services company that identifies and implements efficiency projects in commercial buildings, hospitals, campuses, and industrial plants. The team owns energy audits, savings calculations, and measurement and verification from walkthrough to guaranteed performance. This role matters because efficiency is the cheapest megawatt, and your audits convert wasted energy into funded projects with paybacks that CFOs approve. You will split time between field audits and desk analysis, since the best energy conservation measures are found walking mechanical rooms, not just reading utility bills. The role covers ASHRAE Level 1 through 3 audits, retro-commissioning investigations, and measurement and verification plans that prove savings actually materialized. You will navigate utility rebate and incentive programs, structuring projects so customers capture every available dollar. Your audit reports need to sell the project internally too, translating kWh and therms into payback periods and NPV that CFOs approve.

What you will achieve

Deliver ASHRAE Level 2 and Level 3 energy audits identifying 15 to 25 percent site energy savings across 1M+ square feet of facilities per year
Build investment-grade savings calculations with uncertainty bands tight enough to support energy savings performance contracts, ranked by simple payback and lifecycle cost so clients can sequence implementation
Own whole-building energy models in eQUEST or EnergyPlus calibrated to utility bills within 5 percent on a monthly basis
Drive project implementation that realizes 95 percent or more of guaranteed savings through rigorous commissioning and M&V, with pre and post retrofit metering specified to IPMVP standards
Cut audit-to-proposal cycle time by 25 percent with standardized templates, measure libraries, and automated reporting

What you will bring

Must-haves

2 to 5 years of experience in energy auditing, building systems engineering, or energy services
Strong understanding of HVAC systems, controls sequences, lighting, building envelope, and industrial process loads
Proficiency with at least one building energy modeling tool such as eQUEST, EnergyPlus, or OpenStudio
Working knowledge of IPMVP Options A through D and when each applies
Ability to use data loggers, power meters, and trend data to diagnose real building performance
Familiarity with ASHRAE audit levels, Guideline 14, and Standard 90.1
Financial modeling skills for simple payback, NPV, and life-cycle cost analysis of efficiency measures

Nice-to-haves

CEM (Certified Energy Manager) or CEA credential
Experience with performance contracting or utility rebate program delivery
Knowledge of building automation systems (BACnet, Niagara, or similar)
PE license or EIT certification
Certified Energy Manager (CEM) credential or equivalent
