ABOUT THE POSITION
We are seeking a Project Engineer with strong experience in energy efficiency practices, including familiarity with the industrial sector. Commercial and high tech sector experience are also valued. Our Project Engineers work directly with our utility customers and industrial clients to perform outreach, conduct energy efficiency assessments, and identify opportunities for maximizing energy efficiency and performance in industrial and manufacturing systems. This work requires technical knowledge of mechanical systems and sub-systems, including compressed air, process cooling, pumps and fans, industrial controls, steam systems, and data-logging of systems.
Our Project Engineers take a consultative approach, gathering data, installing logging equipment, creating optimization models of industrial systems, and writing feasibility reports for energy efficiency projects, while leading the overall management of projects. They work closely with our utility Demand Side Management (DSM) programs, and so we’d love to meet candidates with a familiarity of these programs.
This is a full-time, exempt position, located in our Portland, Oregon headquarters. Travel is required, up to 20% of the time, and is primarily within the greater Portland Metro area.

Promote DSM industrial energy efficiency program participation through recruiting activities
Conduct MS Excel-based energy modeling and optimization of systems found in an industrial, commercial, or high tech setting (refrigeration, compressed air, HVAC, fans, pumps, etc.)
Calculate energy savings for various system or equipment changes using existing calculation tools, original spreadsheets, and/or generally accepted engineering methodologies
Document performance through data collection from customer sources or via installed data logging equipment
Compose energy efficiency project reports based on observations and data analysis
Commission existing systems or newly installed efficiency projects to maximize energy performance
QUALIFICATIONS
Successful candidates will possess a combination of both technical and interpersonal skills. First and foremost, we seek someone who exhibits all the characteristics of a “people person.” Additional qualifications needed for this role include:
Exceptional critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making capabilities, including:
Ability to quickly see an opportunity and evaluate the quality of the energy efficiency opportunity (size and cost)
