  • Interface directly with clients to understand goals, solve challenges, and deliver innovative solutions.
  • Act as a thought leader in energy modeling, energy codes, and system performance optimization.
What You Bring:
  • Deep expertise in the Grocery sector with a strong understanding of project types and client needs.
  • Licensed PE with multi-state capabilities (or willing to become licensed in multiple states).
  • Strong grasp of energy modeling, decarbonization strategies, and modern sustainability practices.
