CMTA, a Legence Company

CMTA is one of the fastest growing engineering firms in the U.S., with nationally recognized expertise in sustainable, high-performance building engineering. We are a collaborative, innovative, and energetic team that leverages a data-driven, holistic approach to consulting engineering, performance contracting, and zero energy projects. We focus on finding engineers whose skills and personalities drive them to excel, fostering a workplace that provides unparalleled growth and career opportunities.

Our core business is the delivery of Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Design/Build Contracts. Our ESPCs provide a budget-neutral or even budget-positive way to upgrade and renovate facilities, diverting utility spend into facility upgrades that cover scope development, design, bidding, construction management, commissioning, measurement and verification, and ongoing energy management services.

In addition, CMTA’s Renewable Energy team brings extensive experience across the renewable energy sector, including behind-the-meter, front-of-the-meter, and community solar projects. Our team works in a wide range of building types, from dense urban environments to rural settings, and focuses on Solar PV, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), microgrids, and EV charging infrastructure – delivering innovative, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions tailored to each client’s needs.

This role works with a team of engineers to design, bid, project manage, and commission solar PV, battery, and EV charging systems for various CMTA clients. The ideal candidate is a self‑motivated person who thrives on helping clients and has a technical background.

• 5–10+ years of experience installing PV & battery systems (small commercial to large commercial 50–2MW+)
• NABCEP PV Installation, Designer, Commissioning or Inspector certification (preferred)
• Knowledge of AC & DC electrical wiring, communications and monitoring systems (SMA, Solar Edge, Fronius, Chint, etc.)
• Thorough knowledge of the NEC electrical code, especially section 690
• Experience with PV interconnection documents and utility tariffs (behind‑the‑meter and ahead‑of‑the‑meter)
• Experience modeling PV production (SAM, PV Syst, Helioscope, etc.)
• Ability to understand structural drawings and industry terminology
• Vast knowledge of PV racking types from pitched roof to flat roof, carports to ground mounts (Unirac, Panel Claw, Terrasmart, Iron Ridge, etc.)

• Experience with Revit/AutoCAD
• Electrical engineering – ability to develop, read and discuss single line diagrams for PV systems (calculate voltage drop, conduit fill, transformer sizing, short‑circuit current calculations, etc.)
• Understanding of energy fundamentals (real power, reactive power, apparent power)
• Solar knowledge of grid‑tied PV systems and associated components
• Power distribution knowledge (3‑phase power systems, microgrids)
• Construction familiarity – project management, project flow, and deadlines
• Design familiarity with SMA, Solar Edge, Fronius and other inverter products/design software
