As a Energy Efficiency Commercial Project Coordinator with Resource Innovations, you will work in a dynamic environment contributing to utility-sponsored retro-commissioning programs that take advantage of a unique energy efficiency opportunity in commercial and industrial buildings: the no/low-cost optimization of HVAC and lighting control strategies to deliver energy savings that would otherwise go unnoticed or unrealized by the building’s maintenance staff.
The Energy Efficiency Commercial Project Coordinator will work closely with Qualified Service Providers (engineering firms performing retro-commissioning studies) to ensure that each customer receives the support needed to move their project toward completion.

Additionally, you will manage and promote engagement with building owners and service providers, leveraging partnerships and developing new connections that will be instrumental to the success of the program. Successful candidates will enjoy working in a challenging, fast-paced, and innovative environment, demonstrate interest and experience in energy efficiency, and have the right mix of technical ability, program expertise, and interpersonal skills to educate and inspire energy-savings actions in the commercial and industrial sector.
