Experience

Engineer

Energy Sciences

• Lead on-site commercial and industrial facility assessments to identify high-impact efficiency and decarbonization opportunities across compressed air networks, VFDs, packaged RTUs, AHUs, motors, process heating, lighting, and heat pumps.
• Work through state-specific Technical Reference Manuals, regulatory codes, and current industry research to quantify and validate custom energy savings.
• Build custom calculation methodologies and industry-standard calculators for thermodynamic and economic analysis, including regression modeling, bin-weather calculations, and trending-based evaluation.
• Calculate and validate financial incentives for industrial and commercial clients, acting as technical liaison for utility-sponsored business energy efficiency programs.
• Run Measurement and Verification protocols to confirm implemented project performance, sustain savings, and drive corrective action.
• Author engineering reports and client-ready presentations, and work directly with facility managers to move projects forward.
• Write and refine standard operating procedures and work instructions so deliverables stay consistent across project phases.
