Rocky Mountain Institute is seeking a candidate for an Analyst or Consultant position with a focus on Mechanical Engineering (HVAC) and Building Energy Modeling. We have one position available and it will be filled at an Analyst or Consultant level commensurate with skills and experience demonstrated by the successful candidate. We expect the primary focus of this role to be on commercial and institutional buildings, within our Buildings Practice, but our Engineers often spend part of their time working in other fields such as Solar and Industrial Efficiency and Efficient Product Design. Our Buildings Practice largely focuses on two key areas. The first is an initiative called Super Efficient Housing, which leverages Building Science, Engineering and Manufacturing and Construction Management insights to research, demonstrate and advocate for far more efficient new housing, built at the same cost as conventional homes. The second is an initiative called RetroFit, which is driving a new capability for both practitioners and owners of Commercial (nonresidential) buildings – the capability to target and execute deep energy retrofits that fundamentally change the way those existing buildings work, and in doing so cut their energy use in half or more. From time to time we also do special projects, especially in Colorado, outside these two initiatives. This role involves intense involvement in many projects, some of them at or “beyond” state of the art. Key activities will include advanced energy modeling, life cycle cost analysis and general engineering and data analysis. In addition, RMI is a nonprofit with a majority of the budget coming from donors and there is a heavy emphasis on communicating our results to industry and donor audiences. Key Responsibilities:
Qualifications: First and foremost, the successful candidate will demonstrate the following qualities:
A successful candidate for this position will have experience in the HVAC sector and have a demonstrated ability to work effectively with other team members. He or she should also have experience using and building tools and processes to improve mechanical engineering systems, in either academic, research or business settings. Knowledge and experience in many (but not necessarily all) of the following areas are likely to be beneficial:
How To Apply To apply, please email a cover letter and resume with “Mechanical Engineering Analyst/Consultant” in the subject line to: randcjobs@rmi.org, along with links to or copies of writing sample(s). Shortlisted candidates will also be asked to provide references. RMI has offices in Snowmass and Boulder, Colorado; this position can be located in either one. RMI is an equal opportunity employer. |
