Power TakeOff is a software and implementation company driven by making an environmental impact by helping business customers reduce their energy consumption. Since its founding in 2007, Power TakeOff’s products and services have centered around the use of interval electric data to help the business market better understand and reduce their usage and to use software and analytics as tools to cost-effectively deliver services at utility-scale. While our end-user participants are businesses, much of our work is generated from utility-scale contracts with over 20 utilities across North America.
We’re a fast-moving, agile, and growing company with a need for self-motivated staff who enjoy contributing to a better planet by reducing business’ energy usage.
Postion Summary
Energy Advisors are vital to the success of the Virtual Commissioning® (VCx®) Program, designed and implemented by Power TakeOff. The primary role of the Energy Advisor position is to recruit and engage business, institutional, and commercial customers where energy savings opportunities have been identified through email and phone calls. Energy Advisors then provide recommendations and remote support for the participants to implement energy saving actions. After the participant has implemented the recommended changes, you will monitor their smart meter data and work with our internal Measurement and Verification (M&V) team to confirm the energy savings.
