Job Description
About Cadeo
Cadeo works at the intersection of policy, markets, and technology. We support utilities, public agencies, and private industry in their efforts to advance energy efficiency and clean energy resources for a cleaner, more sustainable future. To this end, we characterize markets, analyze distribution channels, assess emerging technologies, and analyze policy impacts. Through these services, we provide our clients with actionable recommendations and the ongoing guidance to implement them. Our approach is simple. We listen first, ask next, and answer last.
Our Culture
Each of us at Cadeo helps shape the culture we want to share. Our work is our craft—something we want to get better at every day. So we take it seriously. To us, that doesn’t mean formality; it means a commitment to continual development, both individually and collectively; it means having the desire to know what works better and the humility to recognize something probably does.
As we continue to grow, our culture will no doubt evolve, but the following core principles will not: We start with the premise that we don’t know. That way, we listen better. We value candor, curiosity, and clarity. We seek feedback. Really. We share knowledge. Relentlessly. We guard against the creep of bureaucracy. And, oh yeah, if you want a standing desk, we don’t ask for a doctor’s note.
About the Role:
Cadeo is seeking an energy engineer to support energy efficiency research projects with utilities and government agencies. This is a full-time position perfect for experienced consultants who have a solid track record of successfully completing consulting projects on time and on budget while exceeding client expectations. As well as having strong technical experience, the ideal candidate will have an established track record in energy efficiency and demand response analyses. We are looking for someone with experience in the energy efficiency consulting industry and who possesses exceptional analytical skills and a strong willingness to learn. The ideal candidate is a motivated self-starter who performs at a high level (independently and as part of a team), has significant energy modeling and data analysis experience, and is eager to perform strategic analyses for utility and public-sector clients. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker, capable of distilling research findings into compelling key takeaways and implied next steps. This is a full-time position located in our Portland, OR, Seattle, WA, or Washington, DC office. Currently most of the team is working remotely and there is no set timeline for returning to the office. We highly encourage people of all backgrounds to apply. We actively seek to diversify our team and bring more voices to the table. The successful candidate will commit to an equitable and inclusive workplace, including but not limited to: racial equity, accessibility for individuals with disabilities, use of gender inclusive language, and cultural sensitivity. Your Qualifications:
    • At least 5 years of experience in energy efficiency consulting, with at least 2 years of experience managing projects and client delivery.
    • Demonstrable experience with analytical problem solving (summary and synthesis of data) and documenting findings in memos, reports, and/or presentations.
    • Fluency in MS Office applications, particularly Word.
    • Strong mathematics and engineering background; mechanical engineering desired; chemical engineering, civil engineering, physics, statistics, applied math or other engineering disciplines also acceptable.
    • Experience with building energy simulation, including EnergyPlus modeling experience.
    • Expert use of Microsoft Excel
    • Demonstrated experience with using programming languages such as R, Python, and query languages (i.e. SQL) for data exploration, management, and cleansing.
    • Demonstrated experience in quantitative data analysis, such as statistical hypothesis testing, regression modeling, and experimental design.
    • Strong written and verbal communication capabilities.
Your Responsibilities:
    • Leading analysis tasks including day-to-day management of projects
    • Overseeing or implementing building simulation analysis for energy efficiency or demand response
    • Synthesizing findings and results
    • Presenting research findings in written reports and slide presentations using compelling narratives and graphics
