About The Position

CEG Solutions (CEG) is an innovative energy services company (ESCO) headquartered just outside of Washington, DC. We initiate, develop, finance, manage, and implement comprehensive, turnkey energy solutions that include a wide range of energy & water efficiency retrofits, operational efficiency improvements, and onsite renewable energy generation measures. We are well-positioned for further expansion and future market leadership in this growing industry. Our clients include NASA, the Navy, the Army, and the Office of Personnel Management, as well as private building owners and state entities. We hold contracts with the U.S. Department of Energy, Army Corps of Engineers, and numerous states and that allow us to perform projects that improve energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy usage within the federal and state government. A few key factors define our organizational culture and our work products: Our commitment to improving the world for future generations and our passion for innovative, high-impact solutions keep us motivated. We strive to hire the best, brightest, and most-dedicated professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds to create a well-rounded team with complementary skills and perspectives. We're looking for a technically sharp, field-savvy MEP Project Manager to lead complex energy retrofit and performance contract projects from construction kickoff through commissioning and handoff. If you've walked mechanical rooms, collaborated with controls contractors, and taken pride in delivering a building that actually performs to spec — this role was written for you. This is not a desk job. You'll manage multi-discipline subcontractor trades teams, own the schedule and budget, drive commissioning, and build lasting relationships with facility owners and operators who are counting on the performance guarantees you put your name on.

Demonstrated ability to read and work from mechanical, electrical, and controls drawings and specifications
Experience managing subcontractors across multiple trades simultaneously
Proficiency with project management software (MS Project, Primavera, or equivalent)
Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can explain a heat exchanger efficiency curve to an engineer and a utility bill to a facilities director

Lead end-to-end implementation of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) to include: HVAC retrofits, controls upgrades, central plant improvements, electrical, and mechanical/plumbing systems
Drive technical due diligence through construction: identify and manage technical, schedule, cost, environmental, and performance guarantee risks before they become problems
Prepare and manage detailed project schedules; hold subcontractors and internal teams accountable to milestones

Oversee implementation of Measurement & Verification (M&V) plans, commissioning protocols, and post-implementation O&M handoffs
