Since 1995, we’ve harnessed that power to offer proven, performance-based solutions for our utility, government, and institutional customers.

About the Role

We are currently seeking a full-time Senior Staff Engineer to join our Energy Efficiency Team. Senior Staff Engineers provide seasoned technical expertise within and outside the company, using their expertise to lead technical efforts across projects and acting as a primary technical resource in their given technical area or areas. As high-level staff with extensive expertise in one or more technical areas, Senior Staff Engineers support the Company’s efforts by passing their knowledge and practices along to other staff in the interest of increasing the company’s capabilities within their technical area or areas.

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.

The Senior Staff Engineer leads the engineering services for multiple energy efficiency programs and projects across the Energy Efficiency Department.

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.
