Job Description

Beyond Efficiency is seeking an exceptionally organized professional with 6+ years relevant post-academic experience to join our fast-paced team and support our building consulting services in California and the greater Mountain West. You are experienced with database administration, data analysis, program management, and the building industry and get a thrill out of maximizing impact through strategic thinking and technological solutions. You have a talent for distilling the essence of what can seem to be a mess of information and logically arranging the pieces for optimal outcomes.

This will be a part-time hourly exempt position to start. Being based at the Jackson, Wyoming headquarters or the location of a satellite office or remote colleague (Bozeman, Boise, San Francisco Bay Area or Northern Michigan) is preferred but not required. Main objectives of this role include facilitating success of consulting programs by developing and maintaining database tools, and allowing the Principal to shift focus from managing the building consulting side of the business to that of developing information products.

Why Join Beyond Efficiency?

We empower people to create enduring human-centered buildings.

Beyond Efficiency is a highly respected consulting team of progressive engineers and architects with headquarters in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and other teammates in the greater Mountain West, California and Michigan. We provide energy modeling, engineering and green building services for multifamily, single family and non-residential projects throughout the western U.S. We also provide policy development, training, and research services. Our broad client base includes architecture firms, affordable and market-rate housing developers, world-renowned universities, and public agencies. 

We consider our key role as “client advocate” to help ensure project objectives are achieved. We do this by asking insightful questions at project initiation to establish clear, actionable goals and performance requirements, and then filling knowledge and skills gaps that often exist in project teams. Our educational philosophy, holistic understanding of buildings, and technical expertise give teams confidence to make better decisions and create buildings that improve people’s lives. 

Beyond Efficiency offers a relaxed and flexible work environment. We have a liberal vacation policy paired with moderate billable hour requirements, competitive salaries, generous professional development allowances, 100% health insurance coverage, 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching, and unlimited opportunities to carve your future and make a difference.
