K&A Engineering — Our engineering group provides a comprehensive portfolio of professional design, assessment and consulting services with a belief that buildings should be cost-effective to build and to operate, be energy-efficient and sustainable, and provide a safe and healthy environment for their occupants.

The Basics — Our energy services team currently has an opportunity available for a Multifamily Energy Specialist/HERS Rater.  This role involves working closely with our internal and external project teams to properly inspect, test, find and evaluate energy efficiency problems in multifamily single and high-rise buildings.

• Become our in-house expert on energy efficiency programs.

Realistically, we need someone with an associates or bachelors degree in engineering, construction management, architecture, or other related field.  Most important is a hands-on understanding of building science, mechanical systems and energy efficiency requirements.  It will accelerate your success if you have at least two years of technical rating experience, as well as HERS Rater or BPI Multi-Family Building Analyst certification.
