Project Engineer

We are an energy services company reinventing the way energy is used in buildings. We engineer energy upgrades, implement them, and track savings to ensure lasting impact. Our clients include many Fortune 500 companies, and our services span: Engineering — ASHRAE Level 1, 2, and 3 audits, retro-commissioning Energy project implementation Ongoing data analytics, fault detection, and diagnosis (FDD) About the Role We are seeking a driven Project Engineer who can run energy upgrade projects end to end and who is ready to take on big responsibilities in a growing, passionate team. In this role, you will work on projects ranging from $50,000 to $4 million, supporting energy engineering and energy upgrades from start to finish — including lighting, HVAC, controls, building envelope improvements, and compliance audits (ASHRAE Level I and II). Your focus is owning the project: budgets, schedules, subcontractors, and on-site execution, working closely with our engineers on the technical scope. A construction or engineering background matters more than deep energy-specific expertise, which you will build on the job. Expect to be on-site at client buildings across California roughly 30% of the time, with occasional travel beyond the region.
