- Supporting development and validation of IPMVP Option C savings calculations and M&V documentation
- Contributing to continuous improvement of SEM delivery, energy information systems, and internal tools
- Traveling up to approximately 20% of the time
You will work across multiple locations (Madison, Newark, Des Moines, Indianapolis, Chicago) with variable levels of ambiguity, managing multiple projects while meeting deadlines and budgets.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in engineering (mechanical, electrical, or similar), business, or another applicable field
- Strong communication skills (verbal, presentation, written) with ability to work effectively alongside experienced internal counterparts

- Professional experience in the energy efficiency industry
- Understanding of systems found in commercial and industrial facilities
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects while meeting deliverable deadlines and budgets

- Comfortable managing projects with variable levels of ambiguity
- Demonstrated proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel)
- Interest in sustainability and passion for environmental impact
PREFERRED:
- Professional Engineer (PE), Certified Energy Manager (CEM), Certified Measurement and Verification Professional (CMVP), or Certified Practitioner in Energy Management Systems (CP EnMS)
- Exposure to continuous improvement frameworks (Lean, Six Sigma, ISO 50001)
- Direct experience delivering SEM programs alongside an existing customer energy management function
