Job Description

BlocPower is a clean energy leader creating smarter, greener, healthier buildings for all by reducing the barriers to money-saving, quality-of-life-improving green building upgrade. We provide engineering, financing and project implementation services for our clients, with a special focus in historically left out communities across the country. These communities, and their buildings, are underserved by traditional energy services companies because they are considered too small, too costly, or too risky. Our portfolio of projects include houses of worship, schools, non-profits, small businesses and multifamily buildings. Through our work, we save our clients money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve health and create local employment opportunities.


At BlocPower, we value our mission. We are trusted advisors that get things done for our customers by using data to make the right decisions. We support and expect excellence from our team members. We treat both our customers and ourselves with care and respect.


As our work is centered around systematically disenfranchised communities – including people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women and LGBTQ people – we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.


Responsibilities:


Energy and Design Engineering:

- Lead site visits and energy analyses to assess buildings and their equipment to uncover electrification and energy efficiency opportunities

- Collect and analyze data (e.g., field visits, existing equipment, energy bills) and use energy modeling software (e.g., EnergyPlus, eQUEST, WrightSoft) to understand and quantify building energy use before retrofits and verify impact after retrofits.

- Identify financially viable energy efficiency and electrification opportunities to improve the operation, maintenance, and energy efficiency of buildings.

- Synthesize HVAC, engineering, and renewable energy knowledge to formulate comprehensive project solutions

- Develop scopes of work and accurately estimate project costs.

- Understand and effectively utilize, satisfy, or perform activities related to relevant local laws, initiatives, incentives, and benchmarking and their requirements. This includes the California Incentive programs and other electrification-related incentive programs outside of California, such as the New York State Clean Heat Program


Project and Client Management

- Proactively coordinate with cross-functional teams to deliver technical scopes of work to clients.

- Develop and deliver presentations on energy efficiency and electrification opportunities with strong client orientation.


Technical Leadership

- Develop and maintain strong domain knowledge and experience in buildings’ energy systems. Knowledge in solar, battery storage or EV Charging stations is a plus

- Assist in setting up trainings focused on sharing domain knowledge to raise the technical knowledge level of the team

- Mentor more junior members of the team to accelerate their professional growth

- Provide engineering support on new BlocPower products.


Qualifications:


- Engineering Degree with 2-5 years of relevant building engineering experience

- Proficient in building modeling software programs

- Located in CA is preferred. Other preferred cities include New York, Denver, and Atlanta

- Ability to travel 10% time for site visits
