Job description

Blink Energy Services is seeking an Building Energy Analyst/Plan Reviewer to support our clients with energy code compliance through detailed plan reviews, performance-based energy modeling, and the preparation of COMCheck and RESCheck reports.

CULTURE

At Blink, we strive to promote a work-life balance unmatched in our industry. You will have the opportunity to work on many different types of construction projects, as our project types span from single family homes to large-scale commercial and industrial facilities. We also advise and work with municipalities to implement sustainability programs, energy audits, and the International Energy Conservation Code. As a rapidly growing firm, you will find room for professional growth in a dynamic and expanding industry. The skills you will learn at Blink Energy Services translate to any number of other design and construction management projects.

At Blink, we support personal and professional growth through ongoing education and development. Our team of quirky, laid-back, and driven professionals is the heart of our business. While we collaborate closely to ensure our clients get the right information at the right time, we also value independent work and trust each team member to manage their own time and responsibilities effectively.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop accurate and compliant energy models using approved software platforms, applying project-specific criteria to meet energy code and above-code program requirements.
• Communicate clearly with project managers and third-party reviewers to address questions, resolve issues, and support submittal success.
• Review architectural and MEP plans to verify compliance with applicable energy codes and local amendments.
• Identify and document key plan components, including envelope assemblies, insulation values, mechanical and electrical system specifications, lighting controls, and fixture schedules.
• Interpret and apply ICC and ASHRAE standards to create both reference and proposed building models that meet jurisdictional and client requirements.
• Coordinate with internal team members to ensure energy modeling and plan reviews are aligned with project timelines and submission deadlines
• Update models and documentation in response to design changes, jurisdictional feedback, or client revisions.
• Maintain accurate records of modeling assumptions, inputs, and outputs for transparency and audit purposes.
• Assist with the preparation of code compliance reports, including COMCheck, RESCheck, and jurisdiction-specific forms.
• Stay informed on changes to relevant energy codes (e.g., IECC, ASHRAE 90.1) and integrate new requirements into modeling and review processes.
• Support internal training and knowledge sharing related to energy modeling software, energy codes, and compliance strategies.

RESPONSIBILITIES & REQUIREMENTS

• Minimum 2 years of experience in energy modeling and plan review using reference standards such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), International Building Code (IBC), ASHRAE 90.1, and LEED.
• Proficiency with one or more approved energy modeling platforms, including:
• Ekotrope, eQUEST, Trace 700, Carrier HAP, OpenStudio / EnergyPlus, REM/Rate, IES VE
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in professional email etiquette, as the role requires regular interaction with clients, colleagues, and regulatory entities.
• Ability to work independently with a high degree of ownership over deadlines, task completion, and follow-up communication.
• Dedicated home workspace, stable internet connection, and reliable access to remote meeting platforms
• This is a remote position with periodic in-person team meetups and video calls. Candidates must reside in the Dallas–Fort Worth area or be planning to relocate here within the next few months (relocation assistance is not provided).
• Ability to complete both whole-building and unit-specific energy models in accordance with project scope and code requirements.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting architectural and MEP drawings to extract relevant building performance data.

If you're seeking meaningful work-life balance, want to be part of a growing and purpose-driven industry, and are excited to help build more sustainable and energy efficient buildings—we want to hear from you. Please include @WeLoveBlinko in the subject line when you apply.
