To thrive as a Remote Energy Efficiency Program Manager, you need expertise in energy management, program administration, and a relevant degree in engineering, environmental science, or a related field. Familiarity with energy modeling software, data analysis tools, and industry certifications such as CEM (Certified Energy Manager) are typically required.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in remote energy efficiency program roles, and how can they overcome them?

One common challenge in remote energy efficiency program roles is maintaining clear communication with both internal teams and external stakeholders, as much of the collaboration happens virtually. Additionally, managing projects across different locations and time zones can require strong organizational skills and proactive scheduling. To overcome these challenges, professionals often leverage project management software, set regular check-ins, and establish clear documentation practices. Building strong relationships with local partners and staying updated on regional energy regulations can also help ensure program success.

What are remote energy efficiency programs?

Remote energy efficiency programs are initiatives designed to help individuals, businesses, or organizations improve their energy use without requiring in-person visits. Instead, these programs use digital tools, phone consultations, and online resources to assess energy consumption, provide recommendations, and support the implementation of energy-saving measures. Common services include virtual energy audits, remote monitoring, and guidance on upgrading appliances or building systems to be more efficient. These programs are especially useful for reaching participants in remote areas or during times when in-person interactions are limited.

Both roles require relevant certifications and often operate in remote settings, but their core responsibilities differ in scope and focus.

    • Coordinate & Provide guidance to supporting teams regarding energy efficiency programs

    Basic Qualifications

    • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Economics, Business Administration or related

    • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Products, especially Microsoft Excel

    • Must be able to work cooperatively on a technical team, along with working with non-technical team members.

    • Must have well developed communication skills and be able to express thoughts and ideas clearly and concisely in both verbal and written format.

    • Strong planning, organization, time management, and team-building skills with demonstrated ability to make unanticipated changes to production deliverables required

    • Positive, patient and friendly attitude

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Understanding of utility-offered products or services

    • Familiarity with data analytics, data QA/QC practices, and developing concise and accurate reports

    • Focus on being able to see things through customer’s eyes to improve customer experience and satisfaction

    • Experience working with commercial contractors

    • Familiarity with the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) or ASHRAE Efficiency Standards

    • Experience with COMcheck, eQuest, Trane TRACE™, or Carrier HAP

    • Experience with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software

    • Experience in the development and implementation of standards, procedures and guidelines for a process-oriented position.

    • Excellent English oral and written communication skills.

    Although this role will primarily support the Ameren Illinois Energy Efficiency Program, Leidos will be the employer of the person, Ameren Illinois does not take any role in selecting the person for employment, and Ameren Illinois will not have any role in managing the work performed by the person.
