Experience with non-residential and/or multi-unit residential applications is particularly valuable based on current program participation.

Key Responsibilities

· Administer a portfolio of new construction and major renovation energy efficiency projects.

· Analyze new construction projects using industry-standard energy modeling software such as CanQuest/eQuest, IES VE, and HAP.

· Perform energy modeling simulations and model reviews for basic project types.

· Apply working knowledge of the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) Part 8 Standard and its application to energy models.

· Work with the business development team to engage, recruit, and support customers.

· Collaborate with participants, partners, and external parties to support project success and overall Custom Program outcomes.

· Assist with project agreement development and administration, ensuring compliance with established regulations.

· Proactively manage multiple concurrent projects while maintaining the quality and accuracy of technical work.

· Complete measurement and verification of energy-saving measures after projects are executed.

· Assist with follow-through on evaluator and verifier recommendations for the program.

· Maintain general knowledge of EfficiencyOne program materials, protocols, criteria, and program nuances.

· Support marketing-related initiatives and educate participants about the program.

· Perform other duties as required, including support for pilot projects.

What Will Help You Succeed?

· Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field, a diploma in engineering technology, or an equivalent combination of education and work experience.

· Demonstrated experience using whole-building energy modeling software such as eQuest, HAP, and/or IES VE.

· Working knowledge of building science principles related to commercial and/or multi-unit residential construction.

· Strong attention to detail, customer focus, time management, and oral communication skills.

· Experience independently identifying, assessing, and resolving basic technical issues related to building science principles and energy modeling is considered an asset.

· Technical knowledge and aptitude related to energy efficiency measures.

· Self-motivated, able to work independently, take initiative, manage multiple tasks, and deliver high-quality work within tight timelines.

· Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.

· A valid driver's license is required.
