Build the future, spark innovation and align your career with purpose. McKinstry is innovating the waste and climate harm out of the built environment and creating lasting impact. Together, we’re building a thriving planet. Buildings are a leading contributor to the climate crisis, generating nearly 40% of total global energy-related carbon emissions. We’re making a lasting impact on our industry within our communities by addressing the climate, affordability, and equity crises through renewables and energy services, engineering and design, construction and facility services.

To get where we’re going, we need big thinkers, problem solvers, and collaborative mindsets. Does that sound like you?

We are adding a Building Performance Analyst with 5+ years of experience to our growing Zero+Planning group in Golden, CO. Position responsibilities include:

• Analyze and report on existing building energy performance; includes benchmarking, weather regression, and other forms of savings tracking.
• Analyze utility usage patterns of facilities to establish a baseline and track reductions due to the implementation of decarbonization measures.
• Work with multi-disciplinary project teams (architects, MEP engineers, general contractors, etc.) on new construction projects to establish project goals and help the team achieve those goals. Work across the typical new construction design process (Concept Design to Construction Administration).
• Work with owners of existing building portfolios to establish decarbonization goals and pathways.
• Understand systems that impact building energy usage and carbon emissions, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, renewables, and architectural at the building, portfolio, and district levels.
• Develop energy efficiency and carbon reduction measures at the building, portfolio, and district levels; assist internal mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design teams in scoping measures.
• Perform whole building energy modeling via software such as IES VE for new construction and existing buildings; maintain energy models across the life of a project.
• Perform detailed building-level and district-level energy calculations using hourly spreadsheets and data analysis tools.
• Rank and prioritize decarbonization measures for owners and project teams, understanding their priorities and existing conditions. Provide input on impacts of different decarbonization strategies and/or design changes.
• Identify process improvement opportunities and develop innovative workflows to streamline modeling and analysis processes.
• Carefully review own work and work delegated to others, maintaining a high sense of quality and initiating outreach when needed.

• Communicate complex technical topics for non-technical audiences via graphical reporting and dynamic data visualization tools.
• Develop long‑term decarbonization roadmaps for building and campus owners to identify pathways toward achieving their long‑term decarbonization goals.
• Develop compliance documentation for whole‑building energy modeling (e.g., Local Energy Code, LEED, Living Building Challenge).

• Work directly with clients and lead discussions throughout the life of the project. Regular meetings, milestone presentations, and general coordination.
• Coordinate across internal groups at McKinstry (Technical Services, Energy, Eco Districts, Renewables, Electric Vehicles).
• Work with construction, cost estimating, and design teams to establish pricing for decarbonization measures.
