Our client delivers energy infrastructure solutions to clients across the United States. They hold master performance contracting agreements with the US Department of Energy, US Army Corps of Engineers, and State of California, among others. Their small and collaborative team has developed more than $300MM of energy upgrades since entering the industry 10 years ago.
Their team is dedicated to improving the way in which the built environment uses energy, and believes that the work will play a role in solving some of the greatest challenges facing society today. Testament to their thoroughness, creativity, and dedication to their clients, 100% of their clients have requested follow-on projects and more than half of the completed projects have won major industry awards.
Job Description – Senior Energy Engineer We are looking for a Senior Energy Engineer to add to a small but growing team. Successful candidates will be experts in building systems and have the ability to think critically and creatively about energy conservation measures (ECMs). In this role, you will be responsible for a variety of tasks including completing whole facility energy audits, creating building energy consumption models, identifying and quantifying energy conservation measures, overseeing engineered design development and reviews, and developing & conducting Measurement and Verification for ECMs. This position requires a dynamic individual with strong technical abilities and a proven ability to balance multiple concurrent projects.
Detailed responsibilities include: Lead facility audits to identify ECMsCollect utility, facility, operations, and other data needed to identify ECMsRecommend ECMs, and prepare energy analyses of facilities and/or systemsRecommend energy-efficient design solutions and technology upgrades that are supported by accurate descriptions, measured and logged energy data, savings calculations, and cost estimatesAnalyze blue prints to assess mechanical, electrical, and control systems and determine facility operational characteristicsConduct detailed mechanical and control system energy improvement analyses and complete calculations using custom tools, spreadsheets and/or energy-modeling softwareDevelop Measurement & Verification plans and protocols, commissioning protocols, and post-implementation Operations & Maintenance protocolsCoordinate the integration of design engineering, project construction, start-up/turnover, and subsequent Operations & Maintenance procedures for energy projectsAssist with project development (e.g., construction planning, price, schedule, environmental, warranties, performance guarantees, risk mitigation plans)Oversee the engineering analyses and technical support work of project subcontractors Required and Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent discipline (mechanical is preferred)Extensive experience with building energy systems (e.g., HVAC, controls, central utilities, etc.)5+ years of experience in energy efficiency modeling and analysisPE certification strongly preferredAdvanced degree in engineering preferredCEM and CMVP certifications are preferredExperience implementing energy conservation and performance contracts is preferredWillingness to travel (for site audits and walks) ~20% of time Required Skills: A passion in the areas of energy efficiency, alternative energy, and sustainabilityAbility to provide technical leadership and project management to guide a team of energy engineers to identify, develop and implement integrated energy efficiency programsProficient ability to apply the concepts of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanicsAbility to individually develop custom energy improvement calculation tools is a plusMeasurement and verification skills, including installation of instrumentation for short-term data logging of power and environmental parametersEngineering, analytical, and technical writing skills, including spreadsheet analysesDemonstrated ability to perform at a high level on multi-disciplinary teamsExcellent written and oral communication skillsA general knowledge of the financial, technical, and political aspects driving the energy industriesSelf-directed personality with a commitment to excellence Application Details Please submit your resume and cover letter
