Energy Engineer Discipline Lead

Why This Role Is Different

Build the discipline, not just the deliverable: Your hands-on expertise in energy modeling and ECM savings calculations sets the bar for the work the team produces.

Technical authority and influence: You'll be a go-to technical voice on energy modeling and analytical best practices across the firm, with direct access to the Executive Team.

Grow the next generation: You'll mentor and develop the engineers who will become CEG's future technical leaders.

Shape the frontier: You'll oversee CEG's integration of AI tools and automation into energy engineering — positioning the firm at the cutting edge of how work gets done.

What You'll Do

1. Provide Technical Leadership for Energy Engineering
2. Lead and Advance Energy Modeling Capability
3. Drive ECM Thought Leadership
4. Oversee AI Integration and Technology Innovation
5. Develop, Mentor, and Grow the Team
6. Support Training and Onboarding
7. Establish Standard Processes and Quality Assurance

What You'll Get

• Strategic influence: A direct voice in shaping the energy engineering discipline and CEG's long-term technical direction, with visibility to the Executive Team.
• Authority to elevate the practice: Real ownership over modeling methodology, QA/QC, training, and team growth.
• Interesting, critical work: Hands-on engagement with high-complexity, mission-critical facilities where energy performance, reliability, and continuity genuinely matter.
• A leadership path: Room to grow as the energy engineering discipline and business needs and opportunities grow.
• AI-enabled innovation: A platform to oversee the practical application of AI and automation in engineering workflows — positioning CEG as a forward-thinking firm in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or related field (M.S. preferred).
• 10+ years of progressive experience in building energy systems, energy modeling, and ECM savings calculations.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in any U.S. state required; LEED AP or CEM certification a plus.
• Deep expertise in energy modeling tools and/or simulation platforms.
• Demonstrated experience leading or mentoring engineering teams.
• MEP design experience preferred — particularly mechanical systems design for commercial, institutional, or industrial facilities.
• Experience with energy performance contracting (ESPC), guaranteed savings projects, or design-build delivery preferred.
• A genuine interest in applying AI tools and automation to engineering workflows.
