In addition, the candidate will provide general support to YRG staff (including energy modelers, design assistance providers, operations and maintenance consultants), to inform the strategic and technical direction of projects, and optimize those projects relative to the client’s sustainability goals.

The candidate should have knowledge of building energy systems (shell, lighting, HVAC, controls) and efficiency measures. The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, as well as strong communication skills, and be both willing and able to support project teams in all aspects of building design and operation.
Additional preferred technical knowledge and experience could include:
- Renewable energy technologies and analytical models
- Direct experience with the LEED-EB:OM and LEED-NC Rating Systems
- Cost-benefit analyses
- New Jersey, LIPA, CT, and federal rebates and incentives for energy efficiency and renewable energy
Lastly, the successful candidate should exhibit strong time management, organizational, and presentation skills; be flexible to changes in deadlines and work focus; and be highly self-motivated.
