Sustainability Consultant

Iconergy seeks to add a Sustainability Consultant to lead and build our Sustainability consulting practice. You will create a market leadership position for Iconergy in Sustainability and you will execute the Sustainability work that we have and that you bring in. You will integrate Iconergy’s existing sustainability experience with your own qualifications, expertise, and contacts to develop a strong book of business.

What Does “Sustainability” Mean for This Position?

At its core, sustainability at Iconergy relates to the built environment, specifically to the way that complex buildings use resources and interact with the resources around them.  In this context, sustainability is a function of technology and the decisions that people make during the planning, design, construction, and operation of facilities. 

You will be comfortable integrating third-party sustainability ratings systems (e.g., LEED, WELL, Green Globes, CHPS) into your work. At times, you may deliver the services yourself or manage other Iconergy staff. This is the only required service component of the sustainability practice that you will build at Iconergy.

Many other complimentary areas of expertise can be incorporated into Iconergy’s sustainability practice if you have the persistence, the ability to refine established processes, and a willingness to adapt to the ever-evolving sustainability market.  Beyond the ratings systems, you may bring expertise in enterprise-level assessments, strategy, policy, or other services as you leverage your deep knowledge of water, carbon, energy, or other resources.

With Whom Will You Work?

You will join an existing leadership team that team keeps each other apprised of developments in their practice areas and works together to manage staff availability as project schedules evolve. They follow the relationship when developing work rather than assigning territories or exclusive practice areas.

You will be developing and selling services independently and in partnership with your colleagues. This seller-doer model positions you to build strong bonds with clients as you interact with them regularly and provides you with the opportunity to train other staff or direct reports in how services should be rendered. 

We expect that you will demonstrate leadership and management skills immediately. You will draw on Iconergy’s existing staff to compliment your expertise and contribute to your project delivery as needed. Over time, we expect that you will develop a team of professionals to enhance the work that you bring in.

What Are the Keys to Success in This Position?

• You will use your professional experience, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking to build relationships that support the company’s culture and growth. Your appreciation for each team member’s unique strengths and communication styles will enable you to engage the right people for the right reasons.
• Your services will enhance Iconergy’s customer-focused reputation and its ability to communicate internally and externally. 

Your ability to learn quickly, to ask the right questions, and to deliver on your commitments will directly affect our collective success. 

• You want to work in a place that encourages you to:
• Take pride in the work that you do;
• Share your enthusiasm for our work with the people around you;
• Identify and pursue opportunities to expand your knowledge and the reputation of the firm; and
• Utilize and refine your leadership skills on a daily basis.

We value your ability to learn quickly and take on more responsibility over time. We need you to independently integrate information from various sources, assess priorities, and make decisions with limited supervision. 

The successful candidate’s background will look something like this:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Sustainability, Mechanical, Electrical, or Architectural Engineering. Other degrees may be considered with appropriate work experience.
