Investigate and resolve account exceptions and site-level utility payment issues by coordinating with utilities, finance teams, site contacts, and the bill-payment vendor. Lead utility account actions—including registrations, shutoffs, deposit checks, and credit references—and respond promptly to emergency shutoff notices, including occasional off-hours needs. Prepare monthly variance and energy service reports, analyze utility rates, and maintain utility bill data to identify trends, discrepancies, and consumption variances. Support sustainability reporting by calculating GHG emissions, contributing to carbon, renewable energy, waste, and offset documentation, and developing site-level energy and water profiles.
