JOB DESCRIPTION – Durham Region

POSITION:
Energy Manager

REPORTS TO:

Director, Building Performance Engineering (BPS)

WORKS WITHIN: BPS Team

TYPE:
Full-time / Hybrid onsite 3 days per week at South Durham Region area building sites.

Blackstone Energy Services (Blackstone) is a Toronto-based, integrated energy transition company that helps public institutions and private sector organizations manage their energy costs, consumption and carbon emissions. We are guided by our impassioned vision to take our clients to net‑zero emissions by 2050 and crush their carbon footprint.

With our team of like‑minded and award‑winning climate champions, our success is built on developing responsible energy and carbon management solutions. This includes budgeting, energy procurement, cost improvement strategies, utility bill management, climate risk mitigation strategies, consumption efficiencies & conservation efforts, Greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission reductions, clean infrastructure retrofits and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) & regulatory reporting.

We are a rapidly growing team with an entrepreneurial culture providing superior customer service and customized energy solutions with impact.

As an Energy Manager, you will support the delivery of Energy‑as‑a‑Service (EaaS) Program, a multi‑year energy initiative currently underway at South Durham Region area building sites. You will work directly in close collaboration with both our client’s facilities and the Blackstone teams to achieve required energy‑savings targets.

You will combine energy management practices with analytics‑informed performance monitoring, Building Automation Systems (BAS) control sequence optimization, and retro‑commissioning to drive measurable, sustained energy and GHG reductions.

This position requires working across a wide range of roles—building operators, Blackstone project teams, controls trades, and the client’s facilities team—to translate complex building system issues into clear actions and accomplish program goals.

Job Type: 2-year full-time contract

• Support energy tracking at the facilities using available utility data, submeters, and BAS trends to understand performance, identify abnormal consumption patterns, and verify savings from implemented measures. Develop and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to ensure energy performance is being maintained and enhanced.
• Perform primary assessments by reviewing existing energy studies, commissioning reports, BAS documentation, and prior assessments, and completing walk‑throughs of major mechanical systems and process areas to identify performance improvement opportunities.
• Review and understand mechanical systems and BAS controls, including control sequences, operating schedules, setpoints, and reset strategies. Recommend practical sequencing and scheduling improvements to enhance energy performance while maintaining comfort and reliability.
• Coordinate proposed changes with the client’s facilities team and work with controls trades to bring suggested improvements to fruition.
• Use analytics and Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) outputs to support troubleshooting and retro‑commissioning activities. Liaise with BAS technicians and controls contractors to validate findings and support implementation of corrective actions.
• Review installations of equipment delivered through EaaS Project to verify conformance with energy saving requirements and design intent.
• Identify, assess, prioritize, and recommend energy efficiency and GHG reduction opportunities across operational, maintenance, retro‑commissioning, and capital measures. Develop action plans linking issues to fixes and projects, and support business cases and applications…
