Energy Efficiency Engineer

A small but innovative and growing energy efficiency and process engineering firm located in downtown Madison is seeking a full-time experienced chemical or mechanical engineer with 3 to 6 years of experience conducting energy efficiency assessments in industrial facilities. 

Candidate should be motivated to learn, a self-starter and be willing to travel as this is not a purely office-based position. 

Kinergetics’ work is highly variable and ranges from energy efficiency assessments to design, engineering, construction oversight and startup of energy efficiency and process improvement projects and new application development. 

Renewable energy (solar power, solar thermal, wind, etc.) evaluations as well as energy assessments in hospitals, commercial buildings and even water parks happen from time to time, but are not our focus. 

At present Kinergetics works predominantly in bioproducts, ethanol, pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, food processing, dairy, and chemicals.

The successful candidate will find a challenging but friendly work environment, an understanding that there is life beyond work, and benefits such as vacation, planned office closure time around the Christmas Holidays, insurance, 401k, profit sharing, and discretionary bonuses after 1 year of employment. 

Overnight travel is required at times, and though it is generally about 15 to 20 percent, it has been up to 50 percent at times (monthly).  High rates of travel are not the norm.

Qualifications:

A suitable candidate will have the following to offer:

1.      Bachelor’s degree in mechanical or chemical engineering, with interest in industrial process energy efficiency and design.  Ability to apply mass and energy balances is assumed. 

2.      Proven industrial energy efficiency investigation and thermal system design experience. 

3.      Self-motivated, willing and eager to learn new things at a relatively rapid pace.

4.      Clear communication and report writing skills are required, but can be developed to some degree on the job.

5.      Computer skills:  AutoCAD Plant 3D, Microsoft Office with familiarity with ANSYS a plus.

6.      The ability to work outdoors in sometimes uncomfortable (hot, cold, wet, etc.) environments, with physical exertion required at times.

7.      Must be willing to travel overnight, primarily in the Midwest, but possibly elsewhere in the Continental United States or abroad. 

8.      We are a small firm and are hoping to find a candidate interested in staying in the Madison area.

Salary:

The salary noted is only a range and offer may be higher based on applicant's experience and expectations. This will be determined in the interview process.

$80,000 - $100,000
