• Track QA/QC findings by issue type, root cause, and responsible party to support corrective actions and training initiatives.
• Develop and maintain QA/QC reports and dashboards summarizing:
  • Common errors and deficiencies
  • Trends by measure type, building type, or project phase
  • Error frequency by workflow, team, or role (as appropriate)
• Present findings and recommendations to engineering leadership and program management.

ThirdParty QA/QC Coordination

• Serve as the primary liaison with thirdparty QA/QC firms conducting independent reviews.
• Review and assess thirdparty findings for technical accuracy and alignment with program rules.
• Coordinate resolution of identified issues with internal engineering, inspection, and operations teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Architecture, Building Science, Energy Management, or a related technical field.
• Professional certifications (PE, CEM, BPI, RESNET, etc.) strongly preferred.
• 2+ years of experience in energy efficiency programs, engineering review, inspections, or technical QA/QC (multifamily experience preferred).
• Strong technical knowledge of multifamily energy efficiency measures, building systems, and installation practices.
• Experience conducting or reviewing pre and postinstallation inspections.
• Experience reviewing engineering calculations, technical analyses, and supporting documentation.
• Ability to technically evaluate and rebut thirdparty QA/QC findings when necessary.
• Exceptional attention to detail with a strong qualityfocused mindset.
• Proven ability to analyze data, identify trends, and develop clear reports and dashboards.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues to nontechnical audiences.
