What you'll drive You will work alongside senior Oakwell engineers and health-system clients to conceptualize and implement 10-year sustainability and decarbonization plans — cutting energy consumption, carbon, and cost; renewing infrastructure and driving electrification; aligning sustainability with the client's real estate master plan; and creating sustainable MEP construction standards. **This is a remote position with a preference for candidates located near our Boston, MA headquarters** What you'll do: Audit, benchmark, and document existing facilities and MEP systems — evaluating energy use and carbon against comparable sites, reviewing condition drawings, and gathering plant-operations insight from facility staff. Retro-commission existing mechanical systems: central plant, air handling, terminal equipment, and energy management systems. Develop multi-phase, ROI-driven ECMs (Energy Conservation Measures), estimating savings with our custom energy-modeling software. Produce clear reports on facility conditions, recommendations, cost savings, and ROI — and present findings directly to clients. Complete utility technical-assistance studies to secure efficiency incentives. Prepare scope narratives, EMS points lists and sequences of operations, and scaled drawings and specifications for contractor pricing and installation. Lead construction meetings and commission new systems and controls through implementation. Help build Oakwell 's sustainable MEP standards — and the AI and machine-learning tools that make our analysis faster.
