Energy Engineering Manager (Expert Individual Contributor)
$140,000 - $175,000 + Bonus (20% Target) + Remote or Denver Hybrid + Bigger Scope, Bigger Deals + Certifications, Seminars & Conferences Encouraged
Remote if you're based outside the Denver area, hybrid if you're local to Denver, Colorado. Two positions available.
Are you an energy engineer who personally builds the savings numbers and wants to be the technical voice behind projects that get signed? Do you want to work alongside a sales team that owns the close, while you present the engineering and the economics behind the pitch? Are you looking to join a growing business where your expertise is the career path and your scope grows with the size of the deals you work on?
This is a great opportunity to join an energy-as-a-service business that is growing its engineering team to keep pace with growing sales. It's a chance to work both halves of a project: selling the technical case, then making sure what was sold gets built right.
It is an individual contributor position with no direct reports, working between the engineering and sales teams. Progression comes through bigger scope and bigger deals. You will learn on live projects alongside the engineers and Sales Executives, and certifications, seminars and conferences are encouraged. The organization is fairly flat.
This role would suit an engineer from a performance contracting, ESCO or energy-as-a-service background who wants to stay hands-on with the engineering and be involved in winning and delivering real projects.
The Role:

  • Support live pursuits alongside Sales Executives with site walks, technical presentations and proposal support
  • Review partner models and scopes for quality, including value engineering
  • Manage outside design and construction partners and vendors
  • Hand projects over to the operations team at contract signature
  • Make sure what was sold gets built right


The Person:

  • Current, hands-on ownership of savings calculations with real project numbers behind them
  • Experience presenting project economics to decision makers and winning the work
  • Industrial and commercial mechanical systems experience, such as compressed air, chilled water and boilers, not just lighting
  • Comfortable working alongside sales, who own the customer relationship and the close
  • PE or CEM strongly preferred. M&V experience and previous management of design or construction partners are also valued.
  • Comfortable with travel of around 6 to 7 days a month if remote (5 if Denver-based). Remote hires also travel to Denver headquarters at least three times a year, plus the annual company all-hands.
