    Overview

    TRC Advanced Energy (TRC) is a globally known energy consultancy. TRC collaborates with clients to develop and implement market transforming programs and initiatives that promote electrification, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and green building in multiple market sectors across the US and around the world. These initiatives reduce energy costs, improve the health and safety conditions of buildings, while also helping the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. TRC acts nationally to address some of our country's most challenging problems: global climate change and energy independence.

    TRC is seeking a Building Science and Technical Support Engineer to contribute to our California Residential New Construction electrification portfolio. This role will have the opportunity to lead the future of California's next step in electrification.
