The Industrial Energy Efficiency Manager will work within a multi-disciplinary team to support both the execution of secured projects and business development activities to grow the pipeline of opportunities within the US and Canadian regions.  This role can be based out of several Hatch offices across the US or Canada.

While the variable nature of opportunities make it difficult to define the specific projects the Specialist would either lead or support, the following are some examples:

• Industrial and commercial (I&C) building energy efficiency, performance, and air & noise quality audits, and recommendations for improvement;

• Building energy efficiency improvement projects or similar ‘deep energy retrofit’ projects

• Working with SMEs from Hatch’s Climate Change Practice, support energy inputs to Scope 1, 2, & 3 emission calculations, and recommendations for Carbon reduction actions;

• Supporting I&C building design teams and architects, provide key inputs on energy performance and carbon reduction measures, making sound recommendations for cost efficiencies and improvements during the design and equipment selection phase;

• Reviewing design documents (plans, specifications, shop drawings) either developed in-house, or by clients, to ensure that the intended energy efficiency and carbon reduction measures are being fully incorporated into the designs;

• Create, revise, and follow best practices for energy simulation models, updating information as designs evolve, or system adjustments and expansions are made;

• Working with power sector SMEs, determine electric load estimate for demand response (DR) opportunities as bid into local utility programs;

• Working with SMEs from Hatch’s digital team, support the development and integration of energy management tools into digital twins, building or campus level energy management tools, demand response platforms, or other digital solutions, including the customization of such platforms to meet client needs;

• Lead independent engineering (IE) and lender’s technical advisor (LTA) projects as and when energy efficiency/retrofit projects are the subject of project financing activities.

• Lead the identification and interactions of potential project partners

• Lead, or take a senior role, in the development of Energy master plans

Project delivery responsibilities may include:

• As a key team resource, solve challenging client problems that could include planning, business case development, implementation, monitoring, or assessments of any project scopes referenced above, or related opportunities as they arise;
