Job description

At Cenergistic, we help schools, universities, healthcare organizations, government agencies, and other facilities reduce energy costs and improve building performance.

This is a field-based position supporting clients within an assigned territory. Travel varies based on client assignments and may include schools, universities, healthcare facilities, government buildings, and other commercial facilities.

Energy Specialists enjoy the flexibility to manage their schedules while ensuring the needs of their clients and business objectives are met. Although much of the work is performed during regular business hours, this role occasionally requires early morning, evening, or weekend work to observe facility operations, support client initiatives, or accommodate customer schedules. The ability to adjust your schedule to meet client needs is an essential part of this position.

Time is divided between client site visits, remote work, virtual meetings, data analysis, report preparation, and administrative responsibilities.
