Energy Engineer Senior Associate

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Energy Engineer Senior Associate based in the United States.

This role focuses on advanced energy engineering and building performance optimization across complex commercial and mission-critical environments.
You will be responsible for energy modeling, audits, simulations, and energy conservation measures that directly influence building efficiency and sustainability outcomes.
The position sits within a multidisciplinary engineering team, collaborating closely with designers, project leads, and leadership stakeholders.
You will contribute to both design and audit phases, helping shape energy-efficient solutions from early analysis through implementation.
The role also involves hands-on technical work such as load calculations, simulation analysis, and system performance evaluation.
You will support commissioning and retro-commissioning activities while ensuring data-driven insights guide engineering decisions.
This is a remote position offering flexibility, technical depth, and exposure to high-impact, sustainability-focused projects.

• Perform intermediate energy engineering tasks including load calculations, energy simulations, and system performance analysis.
• Conduct energy audits (ASHRAE levels) and identify energy conservation measures (ECMs) for commercial and mission-critical buildings.
• Develop and review energy models using industry-standard tools such as eQuest, IESVE, EnergyPlus, HAP, or similar platforms.
• Support engineering design activities by preparing drawings, specifications, sequences of operations, and technical documentation.
• Assist in commissioning and retro-commissioning (Cx/RCx) activities, including data collection and system performance evaluation.
• Analyze building systems and recommend efficiency improvements based on simulation results and field data.
• Prepare technical reports, progress updates, and client deliverables with clear, data-driven insights.
• Collaborate with project teams and vendors on energy-efficient HVAC systems and metering solutions.
• Support proposal development, including scope definition, scheduling, budgeting, and feasibility analysis.
• Ensure timely completion of deliverables while maintaining quality, accuracy, and compliance with project standards.
