About the role

We are looking for a skilled and forward-thinking Sustainable Building Consultant to join our growing team of specialists. In this role, you will help hospital and healthcare clients measure, improve, and verify building sustainability performance—with a focus on green building certifications (LEED, WELL, Fitwel, ENERGY STAR), building performance, indoor air quality (IAQ), and health-focused sustainability outcomes.

You’ll work alongside facilities, engineering, EHS, infection prevention, finance, and sustainability leaders to translate goals into actionable projects—ranging from retro-commissioning and HVAC optimization to materials/chemical risk reduction, ventilation and filtration strategy, and continuous monitoring. You’ll also guide clients through Colorado’s building performance and reporting requirements (e.g., benchmarking, performance standards, verification documentation), ensuring compliance while protecting patient safety and operational uptime.

This is an opportunity to bring technical rigor and practical delivery into a mission-driven practice that values measurable impact, operational realism, and healthier indoor environments.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Building Science, Environmental Health, Industrial Hygiene, or EHS (Master’s preferred)

• 3–7+ years experience in sustainable buildings, commissioning/energy, or healthcare facilities (hospital experience strongly preferred)

• One or more relevant credentials (preferred):

  
  

  • LEED AP (BD+C or O+M)

  • WELL AP (or WELL performance testing experience)

  • CEM, CBCP, CxA, EMP, or equivalent

  
  

• Demonstrated experience with:

  
  

  • Building benchmarking & performance reporting (e.g., ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, M&V, audits)

  • HVAC/controls, energy conservation measures, and facility operations constraints

  • IAQ assessments (ventilation effectiveness, filtration, humidity, CO₂/PM/VOC monitoring)

  
  

• Familiarity with healthcare regulatory and risk contexts (infection control, pressure relationships, critical environments, life safety, occupant health)

• Strong technical writing skills for compliance documentation, certification narratives, and executive-ready reporting

  
  

What we’re looking for

• Deep knowledge of building decarbonization strategies and practical pathways (electrification readiness, heat recovery, control optimization, retrofits, operational tuning)

• Strong capability in health-focused indoor environmental quality: IAQ, thermal comfort, lighting/daylighting, acoustics, moisture control, and occupant wellbeing

• Comfort navigating hospital realities: 24/7 uptime, clinical risk, capital constraints, stakeholder complexity, and phased implementations

• Ability to lead cross-functional coordination across Facilities/Engineering, Sustainability, EHS, Infection Prevention, Procurement, and Finance

• Clear communication: can translate technical findings into CAPEX/OPEX tradeoffs, risk rationale, and decision-ready recommendations

• Bias toward measurable outcomes: establishes baselines, defines KPIs, validates results, and sustains performance (not just one-time reports)

• Research interest or continuing education in emerging IAQ standards, building performance standards, and healthcare decarbonization (preferred, not required)
