Job description

Established in 2010, the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N) is a pan-university research institute that focuses on systems-level research for tropical megacities. It performs translational research that covers the energy value chain from generation to innovative end-use solutions, motivated by industrialisation and deployment. ERI@N has multiple Interdisciplinary Research Programmes which focus on translational Research, Development & Deployment which focus on specific area of the energy value chain, and a number of Living labs and Testbeds which facilitate large scale technology deployment enabling validation and demonstration of real-world applications. For more details, please view https://www.ntu.edu.sg/erian

You will be part of a dynamic research team working on topics relevant to the Sustainable Built Environment (SBE). The SBE team focuses on building energy modelling and simulation, decarbonization strategies for the built environment and R&D of green building technologies such as HVAC systems, thermal energy storage, data-driven building control systems and other novel solutions for the urban built environment sector.

This position is to recruit a member of the research team to work on a project on sustainable hydronic cooling system.

Key Responsibilities

• Actively support SBE projects at ERI@N in terms of project R&D, technology evaluation, project coordination, and stakeholder interfacing.
• Lead in coordination with project partners, industry and other external stakeholders.
• Lead technical deployment of testbeds and instrumentation for testing and validation of hydronic cooling/green building solutions e.g. equipment or hardware/software systems.
• Conduct research, analysis and performance assessment of project testbeds.
• Lead in preparation and submission of project reports/test reports.
• Work closely with industry partners to realize synergies in testbeds, site implementation and demonstration.
• Engage stakeholders at management and working levels internally as well as with external funding agencies, collaborators and industry partners, including delivering presentations and guiding discussions or workshops as necessary.
• Execute project procurement, progress tracking/reporting, KPI tracking and reporting.
• Lead in organizing of project and industry workshops, seminars, and outreach activities.
• Assist in authoring of technical publications for completed or ongoing research projects.

You will be an integral part of the SBE team and will need to participate in project discussions especially related to project implementation details.

Job Requirements

• Masters degree in engineering (e.g. Mechanical, Clean/Renewable Energy/Sustainability or Building related) or sustainable buildings design.
• Experience in sustainable design/analysis for the built environment, Green Mark or LEED projects, M&E construction and development (min 2yrs preferred).
• Proficient in MS Office applications, PLC programming, IoT/cloud development, Modelica/Dymola or energy modelling software.
• Should be a very hands-on person, willing to take on non-routine tasks.
• Possess good communication (written and verbal) skills.
• Able to manage multiple stakeholders and work under tight timelines.
• Positive attitude, ability to work independently as well as in a team.
