JOB DESCRIPTION: SUSTAINABILITY ENGINEER

Seeking a passionate engineering-minded professional with 2+ years post-academic

experience in the building industry to help grow and support our services in our

Berkeley, California or Jackson Hole, Wyoming offices. You have an engineering degree

or otherwise want to know buildings inside and out—in fact, you've spent some time on

construction sites and don't know how anyone could claim to be an effective consultant

without having hands-on experience. You're a lifelong learner and are up for anything,

including learning building science fundamentals and energy modeling, the ins and

outs of green building programs, and the art of consulting.

Why Join Beyond Efficiency?

We empower people to create enduring human-centered buildings.

Beyond Efficiency is a highly respected consulting team of progressive engineers and

architects with offices in Berkeley, California and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We provide

energy modeling, engineering and green building services for commercial, educational,

multifamily and single-family residential projects throughout the western U.S. We also

provide policy development, training, and research services. Our broad client base

includes small architecture firms, world-renowned universities, market-rate and

affordable housing developers, and public agencies.

We consider our key role as "client advocate" to help ensure a client's project

objectives are achieved. We do this by asking insightful questions at project initiation to

establish clear, actionable goals and performance requirements, and then filling

knowledge and skills gaps that often exist in project teams. Our educational

philosophy, holistic understanding of buildings, and technical expertise give teams

confidence to make better decisions and create buildings that improve people’s lives.

Beyond Efficiency offers a relaxed and flexible work environment on the edge of

Berkeley's 4th Street shopping district or the heart of beautiful downtown Jackson Hole.

We have a liberal vacation policy paired with moderate billable hour requirements,

competitive salaries, generous professional development allowances, 100% health

insurance coverage, commuter benefits, 401(k) retirement plan with employer

matching, and unlimited opportunities to carve your future and make a difference.
