Decarbonization Engineer information

What does a decarbonization engineer do?

A Decarbonization Engineer is responsible for designing and implementing strategies to reduce carbon emissions in industrial processes, buildings, or energy systems. They assess current operations, identify opportunities for emission reductions, and develop technologies or processes that support the transition to cleaner energy sources. Their work often involves collaborating with other engineers, environmental experts, and stakeholders to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and sustainability goals. Decarbonization Engineers play a crucial role in helping organizations achieve net-zero or low-carbon objectives.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a decarbonization engineer?

To thrive as a Decarbonization Engineer, you need expertise in energy systems, carbon reduction strategies, and environmental engineering, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree and experience in sustainability projects. Familiarity with emissions modeling software, life cycle assessment tools, and certifications like LEED or ISO 14001 are commonly required. Strong analytical thinking, project management, and stakeholder communication skills set outstanding professionals apart in this role. These capabilities are crucial for designing and implementing effective decarbonization solutions that meet regulatory standards and drive environmental impact.

How does a decarbonization engineer typically collaborate with other departments to implement sustainability initiatives?

Decarbonization Engineers work closely with cross-functional teams, including operations, facilities management, and sustainability departments, to design and execute projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions. They often facilitate workshops, analyze energy data, and provide technical guidance to ensure that emission-reduction strategies align with both regulatory requirements and organizational goals. Regular communication and collaboration are essential, as these engineers translate complex technical solutions into actionable plans that other departments can implement effectively.

What is the difference between Decarbonization Engineer vs Sustainability Engineer?

AspectDecarbonization EngineerSustainability Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in engineering, environmental science, or related field; certifications in energy management or environmental standardsBachelor's in environmental engineering, sustainability, or related; certifications in LEED, sustainability management
Work EnvironmentIndustrial sites, energy plants, consulting firms focused on reducing carbon emissionsCorporate offices, consulting firms, NGOs working on broader sustainability initiatives
Industry UsagePrimarily in energy, manufacturing, and industrial sectorsAcross various sectors including corporate, government, and non-profit organizations

While both roles focus on environmental impact, Decarbonization Engineers specifically target reducing carbon emissions through technical solutions, whereas Sustainability Engineers adopt a broader approach to overall environmental and social sustainability strategies.

Job description

Energy Modeling/ Building Commissioning Engineer
Toronto | Full-Time, In office | $100k - $120,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Are you passionate about optimizing building performance, improving energy efficiency, and working on projects that have a lasting impact on the built environment?

An established consulting engineering firm is seeking a Senior Building Performance & Commissioning Engineer to join its growing team. This is an opportunity to work with a highly specialized organization that partners with some of Ontario's largest healthcare, institutional, commercial, municipal, and educational clients to improve building performance, reduce energy consumption, and support decarbonization initiatives.

If you're looking for a role where you can work independently, take ownership of projects, and continue growing technically while working alongside experienced industry professionals, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead commissioning and recommissioning projects for new and existing buildings.
  • Represent owners throughout the project lifecycle - from design through construction, occupancy, and ongoing optimization.
  • Perform commissioning reviews, functional performance testing, field verification, and quality assurance.
  • Analyze HVAC systems, Building Automation Systems (BAS), energy performance, and operational efficiencies.
  • Identify opportunities to improve building performance, occupant comfort, and energy consumption.
  • Develop commissioning plans, testing procedures, engineering reports, and technical recommendations.
  • Conduct site investigations and collaborate with owners, consultants, contractors, architects, and facility managers.
  • Support building decarbonization, electrification, greenhouse gas reduction, and sustainability initiatives.
  • Review mechanical designs, control sequences, equipment selections, and retrofit strategies.
  • Manage multiple projects while maintaining strong client relationships.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the continued growth of the team.

What we're looking for:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario (or eligible).
  • 7+ years of experience within building consulting engineering.
  • Strong experience with:
    • Building Commissioning
    • Existing Building Commissioning (EBCx)
    • HVAC systems
    • Building Automation Systems (BAS)
    • Mechanical building systems
  • Working knowledge of:
    • ASHRAE Guidelines
    • CSA Standards
    • Ontario Building Code
  • Strong communication, report writing, and client-facing skills.
  • Ability to work independently while managing multiple projects.
  • Valid Ontario Driver's Licence.

Why Join?

This organization has built an excellent reputation within Ontario's building consulting industry through its specialized expertise in commissioning, building performance optimization, and sustainable engineering. You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Work on technically challenging healthcare, institutional, commercial, educational, and government projects.
  • Play a key role in energy optimization, decarbonization, and Net Zero initiatives.
  • Join a collaborative team where your technical expertise and project ownership are valued.
  • Enjoy significant autonomy while being supported by experienced engineering professionals.
  • Work directly with clients and contribute to meaningful improvements in building performance.
  • Be part of a growing organization with exciting expansion plans across Canada.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary: $100,000–$120,000 (based on experience)
  • Annual performance bonus
  • Comprehensive extended health and dental benefits
  • Long-term career growth within a specialized and expanding consulting engineering firm

Please note: Only candidates with previous consulting engineering experience in building performance, commissioning, or mechanical building systems will be contacted.
