At Entuitive we are committed to lowering the climate change impacts of every project that we touch. As a Certified BCorp, SE2050 signatory, and carbon neutral company, we are proud to say we have woven sustainable thinking through our firm. We are looking to add a passionate energy modeler to our Advanced Performance Analysis team within our Sustainability + Performance group. As a member of the team, you will have the opportunity to work on interesting and impactful projects in a collaborative and supportive environment.

About Advanced Performance Analysis at Entuitive

As we strive for a more sustainable world, energy modeling has emerged as a key driver, guiding the development of innovative solutions and policies that pave the way towards a greener and more resilient world. Our Advanced Performance Analysis team applies a systematic approach to understanding, analyzing, and optimizing energy consumption and building emissions. We use our skills to provide practical decision making tools for our clients, supporting developers, architects, engineers, owners, and policy makers to predict and assess the impact of design choices, building materials, and operational strategies on building performance.

Our Sustainability + Performance team is a skilled and friendly group of colleagues across our firm, committed to helping design some of North America's highest performing buildings and infrastructure. We're proud to say Entuitive was engaged on 22 of Canada's Top 100 Projects in the last year, including five of the top ten.

Our team works in a variety of software and platforms including IES VE, RETScreen, Flixo, PHPP, Helioscope, and more.
