Energy Efficiency Project Engineer

Resource Innovations is seeking a Project Engineer to join our growing team in Indiana or Kentucky. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated engineer with a strong background in C&I custom and energy management DSM program engineering to join our dynamic team.

As a Project Engineer you will be responsible for providing customers with the support and tools necessary to identify, quantify, and deliver cost‑effective energy‑efficiency projects.

• Supports implementation of both prescriptive and custom energy efficiency projects. Support may include completing energy modeling, economic analysis, and/or simulation to quantify energy impacts of recommendations (using spreadsheets and/or energy modeling software), developing project scopes, summarizing implementation details, and/or explaining impacts on operations.
• Conducts energy analysis for projects at medium to large commercial and industrial facilities to identify and recommend energy efficiency improvements in a variety of facility energy using systems (lighting, HVAC, compressed air, refrigeration, process heating, plastic molding or forming, motors, boilers, pumping, food processing, etc.).
• Writes technical reports summarizing results from energy assessments to quantify project economics (energy savings, cost savings, project cost, potential incentive, simple payback, etc.).
• Conducts measurement and verification (M&V) site visits to establish facility energy usage patterns, identify potential energy savings opportunities, and verify installation of energy savings projects. M&V tasks may include installing field monitoring equipment / data loggers, collecting BAS trend data, completing functional performance tests, obtaining BAS screenshots and equipment photos, and discussing project implementation with the customer and contractor.
• Communicates, coordinates, and assists project stakeholders and participants including program staff, contractors, and utility customers to help ensure customers are maximizing the benefits of utility programs.
• Delivers professional, high‑quality services and builds a quick rapport with utility customers.
• Completes high‑quality deliverables that demonstrate technical excellence, objectivity, and clarity while maintaining project budgets and schedules.
• Other duties as assigned.

• A minimum of a bachelor’s degree is required, preferably in Mechanical, Energy, or related engineering field of study.
• 2+ years of project engineering experience or similar within the energy efficiency industry.
• A strong understanding of mechanical and electrical systems and principles including HVAC and refrigeration, thermal and fluid systems, motors, lighting and/or other commercial and industrial systems.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects while meeting deliverable deadlines and budgets.
• Comfortable managing projects and workflows with variable levels of ambiguity.
• Must have a valid U.S. driver’s license with a good driving record and a personal vehicle to visit customer sites.

• Must be located in Indiana or Kentucky.

• CEM certification.
• Master’s degree preferably in Mechanical, Energy or related engineering field of study.
• Previous relevant experience with commercial and/or industrial sectors.
• Previous relevant experience with success at managing multiple projects/programs, budgets, deliverables, and client relations.
• Design and specification of HVAC, electrical, building automation/controls.
• Building and energy modeling/simulation tools (e.g., DOE‑2, eQuest, Energy Plus, Trane Trace, ECAM).
• Familiar with energy savings opportunities for building energy using systems (lighting,…
