## Why this role matters…

- Undertake various technical analyses, tailoring your approach to meet client’s operational, financial, and environmental objectives
- Work hand-in-hand with the Business Development Manager to guide projects from early-stage concept to contract, be accountable for technical insights

Your profile...

- Proven ability to develop technical concepts and project proposals for energy retrofits and infrastructure upgrades
- Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling presentations for technical and non-technical stakeholders
- A minimum of 5+ years of direct relevant experience in buildings and energy efficiency, construction- type projects
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or other related discipline
- Professional Engineering License highly desirable

What Ecosystem offers...

- A unique opportunity to join a team driving the energy transition- while others talk, we deliver results!
- Annual base salary (approx. $100,000 - $150,000). This is an approximate range and dependent on location and years of relevant experience
- Tailored career growth and development opportunities through mentorship, training, and career planning
- Generous time off: enjoy a minimum of 15 vacation days, 5 personal days, 10 public holidays, and a year-end holiday closure
- Employer contribution to 401(k) and complete Group Insurance offer with employer contribution and easy access to health and support through Telemedicine and Employee Assistance Program
- At Ecosystem, our Approach to Working Together is built on trust, collaboration, and accountability. While flexibility depends on the role, some teams have set expectations for time on-site or in the office. We come together intentionally during key moments to connect, learn, and succeed as a team
- Thriving people-first culture: we put our values in action in DEI, CSR, Innovation, and Social committees, and celebrate our shared success at events like [Ecofest](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiBgNONM_s4)
