Description du poste

A Career Opportunity Energized by Purpose

Lead engineers. Stay hands‑on. Make real impact.

This is a home‑based role with up to 25% travel and the use of a personal vehicle. Midwest or Pennsylvania preferred.

At Energy Sciences, we believe the best engineering leaders don’t step away from the work — they stay connected to it.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager who thrives as a player‑coach: someone who enjoys mentoring engineers, guiding complex projects, and still rolling up their sleeves to solve real engineering problems. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who wants to grow people and projects without giving up the technical work that brought them here in the first place.

Our managers tell us they like this model. It keeps them sharp, credible with their teams, and deeply connected to the outcomes we deliver for our clients.

Why this role is different

This isn’t a role where management replaces engineering — it builds on it.

As an Engineering Manager at Energy Sciences, you will:

• Continue doing meaningful technical work on energy efficiency and decarbonization projects
• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of engineers
• Influence how work gets done — technically, operationally, and culturally
• See the direct impact of your work on buildings, systems, and sustainability outcomes

Our work helps commercial, industrial, and municipal clients reduce energy use, eliminate waste, and move toward a more sustainable future — delivering measurable results and saving millions of dollars along the way.

What you’ll do

As a player‑coach, your time will be intentionally split between technical contribution and people leadership.

On the technical side, you will:

• Identify and quantify energy efficiency and decarbonization opportunities
• Perform energy and economic analyses using field data, trending, and modeling
• Lead or contribute to complex or high‑impact projects
• Conduct site surveys, system investigations, and facility assessments
• Prepare clear, credible reports and present findings to clients
• Provide technical leadership and quality review of engineering work

On the leadership side, you will:

• Coach, mentor, and develop engineers — supporting both technical growth and career progression
• Allocate resources across projects to balance workloads, priorities, and deadlines
• Review work for quality, consistency, and accuracy
• Support onboarding, goal‑setting, and professional development for direct reports
• Partner in hiring decisions and help build a strong, engaged engineering team
• Serve as a trusted technical and people leader within the organization

About You

• You enjoy being both a technical contributor and a people leader
• You like staying close to the work and leading by example
• You’re collaborative, thoughtful, and comfortable guiding others through complex problems
• You care about quality, integrity, and doing work that matters
• You’re motivated by sustainability, continuous improvement, and real‑world impact
