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. You will also lead climate action plans for campuses and communities, and direct clients on how to meet their GHG reduction goals and reduce Scope 1,2,3 GHG.
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.
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.
- 5-15 years of work experience in design, construction, engineering, sustainability, and/or professional services
- Building Energy Modeling Professional (BEMP) certification (desired).
- Accredited professional in LEED or WELL or CHPS or equivalent (preferred).
- History of developing and writing climate action plans.
- Experience with tracking and documenting Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions for corporations and municipalities.
- Strong ties to the design community, especially in Colorado.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong skills in MS Office.
- Good understanding of renewable technologies for site and community planning.
- Able to lead sustainability design charettes for energy modeling HVAC team meetings, as well as schematic design sustainability charettes.
- Enjoys business development, and personally doing the work in addition to managing a team.
We value teammates who are committed to the Iconergy team and adaptable to potential shifts in the specifics of their role. Our positions are similar to those at other growing firms: they are functions of the marketplace and, therefore, dynamic. We have described the position as it is forecasted today. We are constantly evolving our services and also addressing client requests that may change the description in a number of ways over time.
With Whom Will You Work?

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.
