About This Opportunity

We are seeking a SR Water and Wastewater Energy Efficiency Engineer who will be responsible for leading and implementing existing and new Strategic Energy Management (SEM) efforts for our utility and industrial clients. The W/WW EE Engineer coaches municipal and industrial organizations to form energy teams, set goals, and implement measures to get moving on the path to reduced consumption and GHG emissions. This is a technical role that requires a deep understanding of municipal water or wastewater plant operations; the role also requires a high level of customer engagement that results in generating work from existing and new clients.

Perform customer site visits to assess municipal water and wastewater operations from a technical and operational perspective, with a focus on improving energy efficient operations
Facilitate regional W/WW workshops and seminars for SEM participants
Facilitate and communicate energy performance reporting, with occasional Excel-based modeling and analysis of water/wastewater facility performance
Prepare feasibility reports for energy efficiency projects with existing systems and conduct design reviews of expansions, upgrades, and greenfield projects
Provide technical services and customer support within various electric utility conservation programs
Provide project oversight to ensure progress and high-quality deliverables are on time
Interface with electric utilities, water/wastewater utilities, design consultants, and the regulatory community as needed to support SEM participant progress
Identify and engage water/wastewater facilities as potential participants in incentive programs. Identify opportunities to generate additional work from current clients

This is a full-time, exempt position located in the greater Seattle, WA area. We are also open to Portland OR candidates. Travel expected to be around 20% to client sites.

Qualifications

Applicants for this role are required to have:

A.A/B.S /B.A in mechanical, chemical, civil engineering, or other applicable fields
At least 5 years of experience in municipal water or wastewater operations, maintenance, management, or design
Strong analysis skills using MS Excel
Progressive experience in the management or design of water distribution and treatment systems, or wastewater collection, conveyance, treatment systems, and processes
Experience and strong understanding of the regulatory framework within which municipal facilities operate
Experience with U.S. local, state, regional, and federal funding strategies, and regulations relevant to water/wastewater utilities in the U.S.

Strongly Preferred:

Regional network of professional contacts and involvement within the W/WW industry in the Pacific Northwest region
Experience with industrial energy efficiency

For candidates whose experience may not align perfectly with all these preferred skills but can see themselves adding value in this role, we encourage you to still apply.
