Energy Modeling Project Manager

Overview

As part of our growth, we are currently looking for a motivated Energy Project Manager with 3-5 years of experience to join our Energy Modeling group within our Energy & Sustainability Services Division. The Energy PM will be involved in high-profile sustainability projects – locally, nationally, and internationally - with the opportunity to work with major real estate developers, award-winning design firms, and top tier construction companies.

The Energy PM will also be a technically proficient team player able to provide detailed review of project work and will be integrated into a team of talented SOCOTEC professionals.

• As the first step in energy modeling, examine both field conditions and design documents, representing relevant details appropriately in the energy model;
• Perform advanced energy modeling analysis for high rise commercial and residential buildings primarily using the DOE 2.2 or Energy Plus in accordance with ASHRAE Standards;
• Model building HVAC systems including chilled water, hot water, DX, rooftop units, as well as constant air and variable air volume systems;
• Assemble documentation on modeling methods, assumptions and results;
• Execute energy auditing, benchmarking, data gathering, as well as measurement & verification;
• Perform energy savings and lifecycle cost analyses of energy saving measures related to building envelope, lighting, HVAC, plug loads, and building energy management systems;
• Perform excel based calculations utilizing engineering principles;
• Develop and write reports that detail building components as well as describe energy efficiency measures to improve design and control for new and existing facilities;
• Perform quality checks and quality assurance for tasks performed by team members; and
• Provide feedback to project teams on cost effective ways of improving building energy performance and sustainability.
• Perform all other duties as assigned by your supervisor or manager.

The candidate we are seeking will have the following qualifications, skill sets, and experience:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical, Aerospace or Civil Engineering, Physics or Architecture;
• Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) accreditation is highly desirable either upon joining or planned in the near future.
• Minimum of three years experience, in a consulting environment, in energy analysis for US based projects. (University course experience does not meet the requirement)
• Thorough knowledge and experience with the New York State and NY City Energy Code
• Thorough knowledge and experience with the Passive House International (PHI) and/or Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) certification systems and relevant tools (PHPP, WUFI Passive, etc) is desirable.
• Superior verbal communication and writing skills
• Proven project management skills
• Proven ability to engage well with external stakeholders (e.g. clients and design partners)
• Thorough knowledge of energy efficiency in large and complex buildings
• Thorough knowledge of energy modeling software, DOE 2.2 or Energy Plus. Primary knowledge of IES may be acceptable, if complemented by knowledge of DOE 2.2.
  
  Note:
  
  Experience only with Train/Trace, Carrier/HAP, and/or eQuest is insufficient.
• The Energy Modeling group performs significant architectural energy modeling using THERM, WUFI and CFD software. Knowledge of architectural detailing and of the software platforms are a plus but not required. We will provide training otherwise.
• Proficient in Microsoft software, particularly Excel;
• Basic AutoCAD and Revit skills;
• Computer programming knowledge is a plus as SOCOTEC often utilizes and develops custom analysis tools
