Code Green is a national building solutions firm that partners with our clients to make buildings safe, healthy, resilient, and sustainable. Our multidisciplinary team brings extensive expertise in sustainability, decarbonization, building code, fire safety, resiliency, indoor environmental quality, and inspections. With our uncompromising focus on high performing buildings, Code Green provides the integrative solutions needed for today’s landscape. We support building owners, investors, and tenants through every phase of a building’s lifecycle from construction and acquisition through upgrades and renovation to disposition.

Code Green is looking for an experienced engineering leader to join our Sustainability team as the Director of Performance Engineering & Commissioning. In this role, you’ll shape and scale a high-growth technical practice focused on existing building performance, regulatory-driven upgrades, and decarbonization across major U.S. markets. This is a visible leadership role with the opportunity to build upon an existing team, grow a business line, and have a direct hand in transforming how buildings perform.

• Lead and expand our engineering, commissioning, and energy modeling practice nationally.
• Develop scalable delivery solutions tailored to regulatory driven scopes (ie: Building Performance Standards, Energy & Maintenance Codes) to ensure new construction and existing building compliance focusing on decarbonization, electrification and performance-driven upgrades.
• Help shape business strategy and service offerings: you’ll have a voice in firm-wide growth and innovation.
• Build industry presence through thought leadership, conference participation, and key partnerships.

• Serve as the senior technical authority on MEP modernization, electrification concepts, and performance-driven design for complex buildings.
• Oversee energy and decarbonization studies, energy and environmental modeling, energy management programs, IAQ testing, regulatory emissions compliance, commissioning (Cx/RCx), and MEP system upgrades.
• Advanced understanding of building envelope systems, including roofs, opaque walls, air and vapor barriers, and fenestrations systems, and their interaction with HVAC load and occupant comfort.
• Demonstrate expertise in evaluating whole-building energy performance, identifying efficiency opportunities, and implementing integrated solution that optimize both system operation and enclosure performance.
• Strong understanding of air leakage, insulation, glazing performance, and thermal bridging and their impact on energy consumption and indoor environmental quality.
• Establish rigorous quality standards, review high-impact deliverables, and provide coaching to elevate team capabilities.

• Manage a portfolio of high-visibility projects with major commercial owners, developers, and institutions.
• Partner with sustainability and code compliance teams to integrate BPS strategy with technical implementation.
• Manage team’s project schedule, scope, and budget control — ensuring excellence and profitability.

• Recruit, mentor, and develop engineers and commissioning professionals at multiple levels.
• Build a collaborative culture across disciplines including sustainability, building science, and compliance.
• Implement career progression pathways and contribute to a strong internal talent pipeline.

• Serve as a trusted advisor to key clients — translating regulatory pressures into practical engineering action plans.
• Support business development through proposal strategy, pricing, client presentations, and relationship management.
• Identify cross-selling opportunities across decarbonization, commissioning, and compliance programs.
