  • Coordinate with technical leaders on commissioning, energy audits, and retro-commissioning assignments.
  • Apply quality assurance and quality control practices consistently across building-system work.
  • Improve internal processes, templates, and best practices that strengthen project delivery across the organisation.
  • Support projects primarily in Alberta, with occasional travel to other provinces and territories as required.
