New

Interested in joining a growing company where you will work with talented colleagues, enhance a supportive and energetic culture, and be part of the climate solution? At Energy Solutions, we focus on the big impacts. And we believe that market-based programs can be a powerful force to deliver large-scale energy, carbon, and water-use savings. Since 1995, we’ve harnessed that power to offer proven, performance-based solutions for our utility, government, and institutional customers.

We are currently seeking a full-time Senior Staff Engineer to join our Energy Efficiency Team.

Senior Staff Engineers are expected to balance the completion of project tasks with their documentation efforts and will seek to guide more junior staff to complete tasks using the best practices they have developed. They may act as an advisor to supervisors seeking to provide development opportunities for a more junior engineer or project manager by providing resources or guidance themselves. They are expected to support proposal development efforts and communication planning, and to contribute ideas that will shape the Company’s strategic direction or activities.

This role works closely with program leads for their respective technology area to provide best practices for engineering across Energy Efficiency Department programs. This role coordinates across departments with other engineering leads to provide engineering support across the company and also supervises several engineering staff, supporting their growth and performance in the company.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
