- Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer in Training (EIT) certification preferred.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into practical recommendations for clients and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience evaluating the technical and financial feasibility of energy efficiency, electrification, decarbonization, or capital improvement projects, including utility coordination and incentive programs.
- Strong analytical skills with experience using Excel, AI tools, and other technologies to analyze energy data and improve engineering workflows.
- Experience managing engineering projects and presenting technical findings to clients, vendors, consultants, and project teams.
- Working knowledge of electricity and natural gas markets, utility tariffs, demand response, and utility incentive programs is preferred.
- A collaborative, client-focused mindset with a desire to contribute to 5's high-performing, entrepreneurial culture.
