Project Manager, Energy Modeling

We are looking for a motivated Energy Project Manager with 3‑5 years of experience to join our Energy Modeling group within the Energy & Sustainability Services Division. The Energy PM will lead high‑profile sustainability projects in Massachusetts with potential national and international work, review project deliverables, and collaborate with clients to identify opportunities for growth.

• Examine field conditions and design documents during the first step of energy modeling and represent relevant details appropriately in the energy model.
• Perform advanced energy modeling analysis for high‑rise commercial and residential buildings primarily using DOE 2.2 or Energy Plus in accordance with ASHRAE standards.
• Model building HVAC systems, including chilled water, hot water, DX, rooftop units, and constant and variable air volume systems.
• Assemble documentation on modeling methods, assumptions, and results.
• Execute energy auditing, benchmarking, data gathering, and 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 using engineering principles.
• Develop and write reports detailing building components and describing 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.
• Provide feedback to project teams on cost‑effective ways to improve building energy performance and sustainability.
• Perform all other duties as assigned by your supervisor or manager.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil Engineering, Physics, or Architecture.
• Minimum 3‑5 years of experience in energy analysis for US‑based projects in a consulting environment (university course experience does not meet the requirement).
• Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) accreditation highly desirable either upon joining or planned in the near future.
• Thorough knowledge and experience with the New York State and New York City Energy Code.
• Thorough knowledge and experience with Passive House International (PHI) and/or Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) certification systems and relevant tools (PHPP, WUFI Passive, etc.) desirable.
• Thorough knowledge and experience with the HERS Index Home Energy Rating System desirable.
• Strong verbal communication and writing skills.
• Proven ability to engage well with external stakeholders such as 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 acceptable if complemented by DOE 2.2. Experience only with Train/Trace, Carrier/HAP, and/or eQuest is insufficient.
• Knowledge of architectural energy modeling using THERM, WUFI, and CFD software is a plus; training will be provided if needed.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel.
• Basic AutoCAD and Revit skills.
• Computer programming knowledge is a plus.
