Sustainability Consultant – Engineering

Job Title: Sustainability Consultant – Engineering

Focus: LEED Certification, Building Simulation, and Technical Commissioning (Cx)

Role Purpose

We are seeking a highly analytical and technical Sustainability Consultant to drive building performance optimization and green certifications. This role is a unique hybrid requiring expertise in whole-building energy simulation, hands-on building commissioning, and LEED project management. You will be responsible for ensuring that building systems (HVAC, lighting, controls) are designed, modeled, and verified to operate at peak energy efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

1. Energy Modelling & Building Simulation

 Whole-Building Simulation: Perform complex 3D energy modelling and thermal analysis using industry-standard software

 Compliance Modelling: Conduct energy code compliance modelling in strict accordance with ASHRAE 90.1 standards for LEED documentation.

 Design Optimization: Run iterative parametric simulations to evaluate the ROI and energy-saving potential of different facade options, HVAC systems, and renewable energy integrations.

2. Building Commissioning (Cx)

 Process Execution: Support both Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning processes required for LEED certification.

 Documentation & Testing: Assist in developing the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR), Basis of Design (BOD), and Commissioning Plans. Review submittals and draft pre-functional and functional testing checklists.

 Site Inspections: Conduct field site visits to inspect equipment installation, witness testing of HVAC, electrical, and control systems (BMS), and log deficiencies.

3. LEED Project Management

 Credit Administration: Act as the technical lead for LEED projects, managing the submission workflow via LEED Online.

 Interdisciplinary Coordination: Work closely with MEP engineers, architects, and contractors to ensure design and construction match LEED energy and commissioning prerequisites.

 Documentation Review: Review and audit technical documentation from sub-contractors to ensure compliance with green building standards.

4. Reporting & Presentations

 Technical Writing: Author comprehensive Commissioning Reports, Energy Modeling Reports, and LEED narratives.

 Data Presentation: Translate complex energy simulation data and technical engineering jargon into clear, visually compelling presentations for clients and developers.

Requirements & Qualifications

Experience & Education

 Experience: Minimum 2–4 years of active experience in building energy modeling, MEP design, or green building consulting.

 LEED AP and EDGE Expert/ Auditor

 Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Architecture, or Building Science.

Technical Credentials & Skills

 Certifications: LEED AP (Building Design + Construction). Certified Energy Modeler (BEMP / BESA) or Commissioning credentials (CxA / CxP) .

 Software Mastery: Advanced proficiency in at least one major energy modelling tool HAP , (IES-VE, eQUEST, etc.).

Strong command of AutoCAD/Revit for interpreting design documents.

 Standards Knowledge: Deep familiarity with ASHRAE Standards (90.1, 62.1, and 55) and local energy conservation building codes (ECBC).

Soft Skills & Core Attributes

 Meticulous & Analytical: High attention to detail is critical when inputting simulation parameters and auditing complex HVAC control sequences. Trust worthy.

 Hard-working & Dynamic: Ability to balance project pressure, timeline and deliverables and takes accountability of own work .

 Communication Skills: Excellent written English for drafting official engineering reports and strong verbal communication skills for presenting to project teams
