Energy Data Engineer
We come to work every day to make the world a better place.
We embrace a culture of belonging in the workplace. No matter who you are, where you're from, how you think, what you believe in, or whom you love, we welcome your application. We all come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, bringing in unique perspectives and experiences. We encourage applications from 2SLGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), women, newcomers to Canada, and people with disabilities. If you require any accommodation in the application and interview process, please let us know (including different materials or otherwise).
About EfficiencyOne
Our core values are Integrity, Innovation, and Partnership.
EfficiencyOne is a leading efficiency enterprise. We work with a number of outstanding partners to supply cost-effective energy efficiency and carbon mitigation services in Nova Scotia and beyond.
We transform the way people use energy. Together, we help people achieve their energy goals, save money, conserve resources, improve well-being, and combat climate change.
Investing in energy efficiency comes with many benefits-lower heating bills, more comfortable spaces, new jobs in your community, and a smaller overall carbon footprint.
To date, our work has achieved over $4 billion in energy savings and contributed to 22% of Nova Scotia's GHG emission reductions. If there's a better way to improve energy efficiency, we'll find it. Find out more about how we are making an impact here: https://www.efficiencyone.ca/impact/
Why You'll Love Working Here
The Opportunity
The Energy Data Engineer is responsible for the design, configuration, testing and maintenance of energy savings and incentive calculations in E1's Customer Information System (CIS). As new Efficiency Nova Scotia rebate programs are built in CIS, the Energy Data Engineer works with the rebate program team, the CIS development team, and others on the Portfolio Engineering team to understand technical and business requirements and lead the CIS design of energy savings and incentive calculations for that program. They then provide ongoing training and support for updates and changes to each program. The Energy Data Engineer manages CIS integrations with other applications and data products that are used for calculations. They are responsible for all internal CIS calculations and data transformations that reference project savings or incentives.
Two Energy Data Engineers work hand-in-hand to support the CIS development team. Together, as directed by the Manager of Portfolio Engineering, they bridge the gap in expertise between database experts on the CIS team and users of the CIS system and the data it generates. Day-to-day, they work as part of a team of CIS developers and administrators, representing the Portfolio Engineering department as stewards of engineering quality. They ensure that energy savings and incentive calculations follow established practices and produce high-quality data for reporting and analytics while meeting the needs of users.
The Energy Data Engineer works independently and as part of collaborative teams made up of individuals with very different levels of database expertise. They manage multiple ongoing projects, effectively communicating technical requirements and timelines. They have exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy in their work and are motivated to find ways to make processes more valuable and efficient. They bring some prior knowledge of building science and/or energy consumption calculations, have a strong background in algebra, and willingness to learn.
In The First Week, Expect To
If you would like to be considered for this opportunity, please submit your resume and cover letter, clearly articulating how you meet the above-noted qualifications. Applications can be submitted in confidence to Nicole Durdle at the link below.
