• Perform building performance assessments, diagnostic investigations, and field evaluations for enclosure and mechanical system issues.

• Prepare technical reports and recommendations that clearly communicate findings, performance strategies, and energy efficiency solutions.

• Support high-performance building certification efforts and sustainable design initiatives.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Technology, or a related field.

• 5+ years of experience performing commercial and/or residential energy modeling and building performance analysis.

• Strong understanding of high-performance building systems, including mechanical and enclosure assemblies.

• Experience with energy modeling software such as EnergyPlus/OpenStudio, DesignBuilder, WUFI Passive, THERM, or similar platforms.

• Ability to interpret plans, develop building geometry in SketchUp, and analyze complex building systems.

• Strong analytical, communication, and report-writing skills.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and cloud-based collaboration tools.
