Junior Energy Efficiency and Decarbonization Analyst at Enerlife Consulting Inc.
Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, ON — full-time
At Enerlife Consulting, we believe exceptional building performance begins with understanding how building systems actually operate, not just how they were designed. Our team combines mechanical engineering expertise with building operations knowledge and data analytics to improve the performance of existing buildings. Using building automation system (BAS) data, interval utility meter data, field investigations, and engineering analysis, we identify practical opportunities to reduce energy use, lower carbon emissions, improve occupant comfort, and optimize building performance. We work with hospitals, municipalities, universities, school boards, commercial real estate owners, and institutional clients. Our projects span recommissioning, building optimization, decarbonization, electrification, controls optimization, and capital planning. If you're curious about how buildings work and excited about using engineering and data to solve real-world problems, this role is for you. What you’ll do Working alongside senior engineers, you will: Analyze BAS data, interval utility meter data, and building performance trends to identify opportunities for improvement. Evaluate HVAC, hydronic, ventilation, and control systems using engineering analysis, operational data, and field investigations. Participate in site assessments, recommissioning projects, and building performance investigations. Review BAS trends, sequences of operation, and equipment performance to identify optimization opportunities. Assist with energy audits, decarbonization studies, retrofit evaluations, and feasibility assessments. Prepare engineering calculations, technical reports, data visualizations, and client presentations. Collaborate with clients, facility staff, contractors, and project teams to develop practical engineering solutions. What you bring Education and credentials (preferred) Bachelor's or master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
