About This Role

The Measurement & Verification (M&V) Energy Engineer II is a mid-level position reporting to one of our Performance Assurance Managers. You will join a team of energy engineers in the department who are tasked with developing and executing M&V plans for our energy conservation projects. NORESCO is an engineering-centric performance contracting organization and has over 150 in-house engineers from nearly every discipline.

Energy Engineers are key members of our project teams and provide strong technical leadership. Our teams include representatives from multiple departments;
Development, Analysis, Construction, M&V, Commissioning, and O&M.

• Plan and execute performance assurance and savings verification activities for assigned projects. NORESCO’s has a large portfolio of energy savings performance contract and utility energy service contract projects.
• Collect field data, either on-site, remotely, or using other NORESCO resources and use that data to prepare monthly, quarterly and annual M&V reports as required for each project.
• Create project and energy conservation measure (ECM) specific M&V approaches with Project Development teams based on customer requirements and scope of project. Ensure those approaches are translated and captured in a detailed and clearly defined M&V plan. Plan development may also include baseline measurement and data collection plans and development of subcontractor scopes of work for M&V activities.
• Support M&V budget development and resource forecasting for M&V activities on assigned projects during project development, construction, and throughout the performance period.
• Assist with calculating energy savings in accordance with the M&V plan, including:
  
  Developing new and updating existing energy simulation models using methods which may include Excel bin model analysis, eQuest and/or Energy Pro tools.
  
  Development of energy savings analysis tools for data from loggers, data acquisition systems (i.e. solar PV), cogeneration historians and building management systems (BMS) data using PythonFEMP/IPMVP Option B and Option C verification methods
  
  Evaluating actual and contractual utility rates
  
  Track changes to customer facilities that may affect the performance of installed ECMs
• Monitor and evaluate ECM performance remotely and on site; including data collection, review of metered data, utility bills, and BMS data
• Diagnose HVAC and building system performance issues using cross functional support from other NORESCO departments as well as with internally developed trend analytic charting tools
• Participate in customer meetings to present findings from the ongoing M&V activities and reporting
• Work with other NORESCO departments and customers to resolve ECM performance and reporting issues
• Oversee the transition of projects from construction into the Performance Phase, including implementing data collection methods for ECMs as needed
• Perform quality control reviews for customer deliverables (i.e. M&V reports)
• With support from the M&V team, participate in and coordinate measurements of electric power and energy, temperature, humidity, liquid or gas flow rates, pressure, and other parameters at customer sites
• Develop subcontractor scopes of work on assigned projects for M&V activities including data collection
• Work with the Manager and Director of Performance Engineering to identify and implement process improvements
• Other duties as assigned
• Travel up to 25%

• Bachelor’s Degree
• 3+ Years experience executing M&V for UESC and/or ESPC type contracts

• Degree in Engineering/Science/Mathematics
• Experience with eQuest, Energy Pro and Excel bin model analysis
• Experience with industry standard energy savings calculations (i.e. lighting and water conservation)
• Experience with Python
• Familiarity with FEMP, IPMVP and M&V concepts
• PE, CMVP and/or CEM accreditation

• Experience completing measurements for electric power and energy, temperature, humidity, liquid or gas flow rates, pressure, and other parameters
