Job summary

ICF is seeking a Lead Energy Engineer to support non-residential transportation electrification, decarbonization, energy efficiency, renewable energy, EVSE, and related utility programs in New Mexico and beyond. The role combines customer-facing project development with electrical engineering expertise and construction-management support to energize services.

Responsibilities include evaluating facilities, charging loads, and utility requirements; performing engineering calculations; developing

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in electrical engineering for one or more of the following: building power system design, EVSE design, renewable design and/or electrification.
• Minimum 5 years of experience engineering infrastructure for Level 2 and DC fast-charging installations, including line extensions, service upgrades, interconnection, and utility-side and customer-side make-ready infrastructure.
• A valid New Mexico Professional Electrical Engineering license, in good standing. Current New Mexico State registration as a Professional Engineer must be maintained for the duration of your employment.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to successfully pass a Motor Vehicle Records check.

Responsibilities

• Work with customers, utilities, vendors, contractors, outreach staff, and program teams to identify, scope, and develop transportation electrification, DER, energy efficiency, and decarbonization projects.
• Plan, schedule, conduct, and coordinate engineering infrastructure audits for non-residential EV charging projects to document existing operations, electrical service conditions, customer objectives, infrastructure constraints, and potential project opportunities, including utility-owned and customer-side infrastructure serving Level 2 and DC fast-charging installations.
• Evaluate proposed charging loads, load profiles, existing electrical-service capacity, utility service requirements, distribution-infrastructure needs, and managed-charging considerations.
• Perform and review advanced engineering calculations using applicable industry methods, engineering software, cost-estimating tools, and internal ICF calculators.
• Develop, review, and evaluate utility and customer-side upgrades and make-ready cost estimates to support project comparisons, project selection, cost-effective delivery, and prudent use of program funds.
• Provide proactive engineering consultation during application review, identifying feasibility considerations, utility requirements, schedule dependencies, and infrastructure constraints.
• Provide technical guidance on infrastructure upgrades, engineering requirements, and new electric service, explaining technical findings, utility-side upgrade requirements, anticipated costs, new-service-delivery considerations, and recommended solutions to customers and site hosts.
• Support project managers in aligning utility upgrades with construction schedules and customer needs. Coordinate engineering requirements and schedules with program managers, project managers, utility departments, contractors, and other stakeholders to support implementation, infrastructure installation, commissioning, and service energization.
• Provide quality-control oversight for custom applications, calculations, engineering documentation, cost estimates, and technical recommendations.
• Prepare clear technical reports documenting existing conditions, proposed measures, electrical and utility requirements, cost assumptions, constraints, project savings, and as-built or final conditions.
• Support customers and program teams through implementation while forecasting project activities and helping maintain schedule and budget alignment.
