Energy Engineer - Measurement & Verification

AlphaGov delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, economic and workforce analysis, surveys and community research, and applied data and infrastructure research.

We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with occasional client travel. When you authorize it, AlphaGov may name you as an expert collaborator or key personnel on proposals that match your expertise. We build ready teams for live pursuits - not speculative staffing banks.

AlphaGov is building a bench of energy engineers who measure and verify savings from building efficiency, weatherization, heat pump, and electrification programs for state energy offices, public service departments, and utilities. You would lead the engineering side of program evaluations, from site measurement to savings calculations.

We confirm scope, schedule, and fee with you before any engagement begins.

What you'll do

• Develop measurement and verification plans using IPMVP options and program technical reference manuals (TRMs)
• Conduct or oversee site visits, metering, and data logging for heating, cooling, and building envelope measures
• Build building energy models and engineering savings calculations for thermal and electric measures
• Review TRM algorithms, deemed savings values, and baseline assumptions
• Calibrate engineering estimates against billing and interval data with evaluation analysts
• Write the engineering sections of evaluation reports and answer regulator questions
• Contribute qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when you authorize naming

Apply to be considered.
