You will be part of a dynamic research team working on topics relevant to the Sustainable Built Environment (SBE). The SBE team focuses on building energy modelling and simulation, decarbonization strategies for the built environment and R&D of green building technologies such as HVAC systems, thermal energy storage, data-driven building control systems and other novel solutions for the urban built environment sector. This position is to recruit a member of the research team to work on a project on sustainable hydronic cooling system

Key Responsibilities:

• Actively support SBE projects at ERI@N in terms of project R&D, technology evaluation, project coordination, and stakeholder interfacing.
• Lead in coordination with project partners, industry and other external stakeholders.
• Lead technical deployment of testbeds and instrumentation for testing and validation of hydronic cooling/green building solutions e.g. equipment or hardware/software systems.
• Conduct research, analysis and performance assessment of project testbeds.
• Lead in preparation and submission of project reports/test reports.
• Work closely with industry partners to realize synergies in testbeds, site implementation and demonstration.
• Engage stakeholders at management and working levels internally as well as with external funding agencies, collaborators and industry partners, including delivering presentations and guiding discussions or workshops as necessary.
• Execute project procurement, progress tracking/reporting, KPI tracking and reporting.
• Lead in organizing of project and industry workshops, seminars, and outreach activities.
• Assist in authoring of technical publications for completed or ongoing research projects.
• You will be an integral part of the SBE team and will need to participate in project discussions especially related to project implementation details.

Job Requirements:

• Masters degree in engineering (e.g. Mechanical, Clean/Renewable Energy/Sustainability or Building related) or sustainable buildings design.
• Experience in sustainable design/analysis for the built environment, Green Mark or LEED projects, M&E construction and development (min 2yrs preferred).
• Proficient in MS Office applications, PLC programming, IoT/cloud development, Modelica/Dymola or energy modelling software.
• Should be a very hands-on person, willing to take on non-routine tasks.
• Possess good communication (written and verbal) skills. Able to manage multiple stakeholders and work under tight timelines.
• Positive attitude, ability to work independently as well as in a team
• Familiarity with district-level cooling systems, green building technology, HVAC systems, sustainable building design, and energy measurement and verification, for built environment applications is preferred.
• Knowledge in test instrumentation, PLC programming and cloud-based/IoT applications is preferred.
• Prior experience in sustainability standards and green building accreditations would be advantageous.
