Remote Sound Engineer Jobs in Washington (NOW HIRING)

Energy Engineering Discipline Lead

CEG Solutions is hiring an Energy Engineering Discipline Lead to provide senior technical leadership for our energy engineering practice. This role will impact how CEG identifies, develops, and delivers energy conservation measures (ECMs) across our portfolio of projects. This is a leadership role for an engineer who combines deep expertise in energy modeling and analysis with the drive to build a best-in-class energy analysis discipline. This role will improve methodology, raise quality, mentor engineers, and advance how the team applies technology and AI in its analytical workflows.

You'll be the technical anchor for our energy engineering team: providing QA/QC oversight on models and savings calculations, refining analytical methodologies, developing new modeling techniques, and overseeing how we integrate AI tools and automation into the practice. MEP design experience is a strong plus it strengthens the ability to ensure that the measures we develop are not only well-modeled but also constructible and well-coordinated with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

---Why This Role Is Different

Build the discipline, not just the deliverable: Your hands-on expertise in energy modeling and ECM savings calculations sets the bar for the work the team produces.

Technical authority and influence: You'll be a go-to technical voice on energy modeling and analytical best practices across the firm, with direct access to the Executive Team.

Grow the next generation: You'll mentor and develop the engineers who will become CEG's future technical leaders.

Shape the frontier: You'll oversee CEG's integration of AI tools and automation into energy engineering positioning the firm at the cutting edge of how work gets done.

---What You'll Do

1) Provide Technical Leadership for Energy Engineering

Serve as the primary technical authority on energy modeling, ECM calculations, and energy analysis across the firm's project portfolio.

Refine the standards, methodologies, and tools used by the energy engineering team from data collection through post-processing and deliverable production.

Partner with the Executive Team on the long-term direction of the discipline.

2) Lead and Advance Energy Modeling Capability

Lead the development and continuous improvement of energy modeling approaches, tools, and calculation methodologies.

Develop advanced techniques for modeling equipment performance curves, part-load characteristics, and system operating parameters to improve both accuracy and defensibility.

Identify gaps in current modeling practice and create new methods, spreadsheets, simulation approaches, or analytical frameworks to close them.

Stay current on emerging modeling platforms, simulation methods, and industry best practices and translate relevant advances into practical improvements at CEG.

3) Drive ECM Thought Leadership

Serve as CEG's internal thought leader on Energy Conservation Measure identification and development bringing creativity, rigor, and market awareness to the front end of project development.

Guide the team in identifying high-value ECM opportunities and developing technically sound, financially compelling, and constructable approaches.

Bring cross-project perspective to ECM strategy, sharing insights and patterns across facility types, systems, and client contexts.

4) Oversee AI Integration and Technology Innovation

Oversee the integration of AI tools, automation, and technology-enabled workflows into the energy engineering practice.

Identify high-value opportunities to apply AI and automation from data extraction and model development to QA/QC review.

Champion a culture of innovation and continuous improvement within the discipline and companywide.

5) Develop, Mentor, and Grow the Team

Provide direct mentorship and technical guidance to energy engineers at all experience levels actively developing their modeling skills, engineering judgment, and professional capabilities.

Identify the staffing needs and capability gaps within the energy engineering team, and work with leadership to define hiring priorities and candidate profiles.

Build a team development roadmap that prepares emerging engineers to grow into the next tier of technical and project leadership over time.

Foster a high-performance, collaborative team culture grounded in intellectual curiosity, rigor, and continuous learning.

6) Support Training and Onboarding

Help design and maintain training resources and a standard playbook that enable new engineers to get up to speed quickly within CEG's approach, tools, and project delivery model.

Develop reference materials, worked examples, and mentoring frameworks that accelerate productivity for engineers at all experience levels.

Ensure team knowledge is captured, codified, and accessible so CEG's capabilities grow with the team rather than residing in individuals.

7) Establish Standard Processes and Quality Assurance

Develop and implement standardized procedures governing the full modeling lifecycle: data collection, model development, data and assumptions documentation, results post-processing, and QA/QC review.

Provide QA/QC oversight across active projects, ensuring modeling work meets CEG's standards for accuracy, rigor, and consistency.

Build repeatable, scalable workflows that improve speed and quality across the team reducing variability and elevating the baseline of every project.

---What You'll Get

Strategic influence: A direct voice in shaping the energy engineering discipline and CEG's long-term technical direction, with visibility to the Executive Team.

Authority to elevate the practice: Real ownership over modeling methodology, QA/QC, training, and team growth.

Interesting, critical work: Hands-on engagement with high-complexity, mission-critical facilities where energy performance, reliability, and continuity genuinely matter.

A leadership path: Room to grow as the energy engineering discipline and business needs and opportunities grow.

AI-enabled innovation: A platform to oversee the practical application of AI and automation in engineering workflows positioning CEG as a forward-thinking firm in a rapidly evolving landscape.

---What Success Looks Like (First 612 Months)

A documented, standardized modeling methodology and QA/QC process in active use across projects.

Training and onboarding resources that meaningfully accelerate productivity for new team members.

AI-enabled tools or workflows integrated into energy engineering practice.

A clear hiring and development roadmap for the energy engineering team.

Visible improvement in the consistency, defensibility, and quality of modeling deliverables across the portfolio.

---Qualifications

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or related field (M.S. preferred).

10+ years of progressive experience in building energy systems, energy modeling, and ECM savings calculations.

Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in any U.S. state required; LEED AP or CEM certification a plus.

Deep expertise in energy modeling tools and/or simulation platforms.

Demonstrated experience leading or mentoring engineering teams.

MEP design experience preferred particularly mechanical systems design for commercial, institutional, or industrial facilities.

Experience with energy performance contracting (ESPC), guaranteed savings projects, or design-build delivery preferred.

A genuine interest in applying AI tools and automation to engineering workflows.

Drug and background screening required.

---Location, Travel & Compensation

Arlington, VA office; telecommuting allowed anywhere in the continental U.S.

Travel: ~2025% nationwide for site audits, project coordination, and client engagements.

Salary range: $140,000 $175,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
