The Opportunity

Build the Future With Us

Bring building systems to life and help clients achieve safer, more efficient, and higher-performing buildings. Based in Calgary or Edmonton, you will contribute to energy efficiency and decarbonization of new and existing buildings, collaborate with owners, designers, and builders, and grow your expertise across a supportive national network.

Your Impact

• Lead and support building performance projects that improve the energy efficiency, functionality, reliability, and performance of new and existing buildings.

• Gather, analyze, and benchmark building and energy data to identify performance trends, operational issues, and opportunities for improvement.

• Conduct building site assessments to evaluate equipment and building systems and recommend practical improvements to efficiency, operations, maintenance, and equipment longevity.

• Develop and interpret energy models to establish baseline performance, evaluate retrofit and operational improvement scenarios, and quantify potential energy and greenhouse gas reductions.

• Translate technical analysis into actionable recommendations, including site assessment findings, building-system and equipment summaries, energy analysis, and clear client-facing reports.

• Work with technical leaders and multidisciplinary project teams to deliver energy audits, retro-commissioning, commissioning, and building optimization assignments.

• Apply QA/QC practices to support accurate analysis, technically sound recommendations, and consistently high-quality project deliverables.

• Contribute to the evolution of our building-performance practice by improving analytical tools, templates, workflows, and technical best practices.

• Support projects primarily across Alberta, with occasional opportunities to work on projects in other provinces and territories. 

The Skills That Set You Apart

• 2 to 5 years of relevant experience in one or more areas: energy auditing, commissioning, retro-commissioning or building design/construction.

• A diploma or bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, building systems engineering, alternative energy, building sustainability, or a related discipline.

• Practical understanding of building systems and how they perform in operation, with an interest in investigating problems and identifying opportunities to improve energy performance, reliability, and occupant outcomes.

• Experience with existing-building energy audits, building energy assessments, retro-commissioning, and/or decarbonization and retrofit planning.

• Experience with building energy modelling and analysis tools such as IESVE, eQUEST, RETScreen, or similar software is an asset.

• Familiarity with the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB), relevant ASHRAE standards and guidelines, ISO 50001, and other applicable building and energy-performance standards.

• Ability to analyze technical information and translate findings into practical recommendations, clear reports, and effective communication with clients and multidisciplinary project teams.

• Eligibility for or registration with a relevant professional organization, such as E.I.T., P.Eng., CET, or P.Tech., is preferred. Building-performance and commissioning credentials such as CEM, BEMP, CCP, or CMVP are considered assets.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities, collaborate effectively within small multidisciplinary project teams, and build productive relationships with clients, building operators, and project partners.

• A valid Class 5 Driver’s License and willingness to travel occasionally to project sites.
