The Customer Energy Solutions (CES) division of Seattle City Light is the longest continuously operating municipal energy conservation initiative in the country. In 1977, the City established the use of energy conservation as its highest priority, most cost effective, and most environmentally friendly energy resource. City Light is recognized as a national leader in the field of conservation and environmental stewardship, delivering energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainability programs, and services to a wide range of customers throughout the City and surrounding communities.
CES is recruiting a Senior Energy Management Analyst (EMA) for its Program Delivery team. This unit facilitates the delivery of energy efficiency and sustainable energy solutions to commercial and industrial customers in support of CES' program goals. This position is part of a six-person team, comprised of Assistant EMAs, EMAs, Senior EMAs, and reports to the EMA Supervisor.
The Program Delivery team works with business customers across all sectors to conduct program outreach, opportunity assessments, and project development activities. Personal contacts with contractors, engineers, developers, building owners are typical of the EMA classification for the purposes of explaining eligibility and program requirements. In addition, the team contributes heavily to program design & development with a focus on enhancing customer experience, implementing continuous process improvement, and minimizing evaluation risk.
Individuals holding this position will possess advanced knowledge of the principles and practices of energy management, as well as the basic components of HVAC, lighting, electrical systems, and the interrelationships between such systems. Knowledge of procedures and requirements for program eligibility is required, as well as the ability to specify appropriate energy efficiency measures and to calculate and quantify the impacts of such measures on facility energy use.
EMAs on the Program Delivery team are primarily responsible for implementing a portfolio of energy efficiency programs serving City Light's commercial and industrial customers. This role has a high level of direct engagement with customers and contractors to develop complex energy efficiency projects. This includes identifying energy efficiency measures, analyzing and documenting energy savings, writing performance specifications and developing measurement and verification protocols.
This individual will participate on a team of multi-disciplinary energy management professionals who promote and deliver the utility's portfolio of demand-side management programs to its commercial, industrial, multifamily, and institutional customers. The portfolio has historically been predominantly comprised of energy efficiency programs; however, it is evolving and expanding to include distributed energy resources, such as demand response, distributed generation, as well as transportation and building electrification. CES is responsible for acquiring/delivering all cost-effective energy efficiency (kWh) to the utility (a least-cost resource) in support of I-937 targets - preserving and extending the benefits of Seattle City Light's low-cost, carbon-neutral resources.
This position will report to an Energy Management Analyst Supervisor.
