About The Position

ICF is seeking a Senior Energy Analyst to join their team. This role involves performing technical reviews of construction drawings, analyzing building plans for energy modeling software, evaluating insulation values and materials, and assessing energy conservation measures by reviewing mechanical and electrical drawings. The analyst will also review HVAC system efficiencies, domestic hot water systems, and lighting fixtures. Responsibilities include documenting flow rates for plumbing fixtures, compiling data for modeling tools, building quantitative models to evaluate energy conservation measures, and calculating thermal and electrical savings compared to baseline construction codes. The role also involves verifying data after drawing revisions, communicating with project stakeholders, optimizing program processes, managing projects using tools like Basecamp and Microsoft Planner, and contributing to recruitment efforts. Additionally, the Senior Energy Analyst will train new hires, develop reports, analyze Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to outreach and project invoicing, attend industry conferences and webinars (e.g., NESEA, NAPHN) to understand market trends, monitor program progress, and create weekly and monthly reports on energy modeling processes and outreach efforts. The position is eligible for up to 100% remote work within the US.
