• Keep abreast of technology trends and changes in this rapidly evolving market.
• Interact with senior-level facilities personnel as required.
• Support commissioning and acceptance testing as required.
• Develop information requests from the customer to support project development activities and functions.
• Assess, communicate and uncover technical project risks with the proposed projects.
• Prepare/support development of the basis of design, scopes, cost estimates and final proposals reports (investment grade audits).
• Develop/enhance processes and tools to perform and support energy analysis.
• Coordinate with the Project Developer to conduct comprehensive energy and water audits of a wide range of facility types.
• Identify and develop cost savings opportunities and capital upgrades relating to the full range of building systems (e.g., lighting, mechanical and electrical systems, and building envelope) and process improvements (e.g., manufacturing, purchasing, etc.).
• Assist in all stages of the development process through technical presentations of the proposed projects.
• Provide technical oversight, quality assurance/control reviews of other Siemens business unit engineering work.
• Develop/enhance processes & tools for project development, implementation and performance period

Qualifications include:
Education:
