Energy efficiency specialist
Rappel, Pasadena, CA, United States
Company Description
Companies of all sizes want to take climate action, but those with lean sustainability resources struggle with gaps in the capabilities, resources, and funds required to get started and maintain progress.
Rappel has been designed from the ground up to solve these challenges.
We provide a streamlined, capability-building engagement process with the power of advanced carbon and financial modeling software to deliver company and asset-specific decarbonization solutions.
Rappel builds company value through high return‑on‑investment decarbonization planning and execution.
We deliver tailored decarbonization solutions that are more actionable than compliance‑focused carbon accounting software and more affordable than labor‑intensive sustainability consultants.
Role Description
The Energy Efficiency Specialist’s role is to contribute to data, analytics, and customer delivery of commercial and industrial energy efficiency and decarbonization action planning. This role will:
Manage virtual facility walkthroughs with commercial and industrial customers to quantify energy and carbon impact of current systems, as well as energy efficiency and decarbonization opportunities
Integrate energy efficiency subject‑matter expertise into CO2-AIM, Rappel’s core carbon and financial modeling platform
Support data processing, assumptions development, and QA to ensure analysis outputs are credible, consistent, and decision‑ready
The ideal candidate has hands‑on experience with energy efficiency or industrial decarbonization and is excited by the challenge of turning practical insights into repeatable product logic.
Key Responsibilities
Act as subject‑matter expertise within energy efficiency topics such as HVAC, lighting systems, process heat, and other areas
Work with Director of Carbon Intelligence and Analytics to define and prioritize product needs to enhance the quality of answers or create new insights across range of GHG inventory and decarbonization financial and carbon modeling
Design analysis methodologies that balance technical rigor with scalability, including default assumptions, data hierarchies, and fallback logic
Contribute to continuous improvement of templates, walkthrough guides, and data standards used in customer delivery
Research emerging technologies, new levers, and incentives for facility and energy system decarbonization
Contribute to external partnerships to improve quality of recommendations, implementation support, or other business development opportunities
Collaborate cross‑functionally with product, software engineering, and delivery teams to ensure EE features are usable, accurate, and impactful
Desired Experience
Bachelor’s degree in relevant industry
3+ years of direct experience in energy efficiency planning, analytics, and/or implementation in manufacturing and industrial settings; commercial building experience a plus
Financial and carbon data analysis experience, demonstrating an ability to consolidate insights and experience into scalable tools
Demonstrated strong, independent organizational and process management across multiple workstreams and stakeholders, both internal and external
Experience in product design or software development (Python, R) is a plus
Experience with on‑site energy audits is strongly encouraged
Demonstrated active listening and proactive solutioning to identify customer pain points, and to ideate product features that address and resolve those pain points
Proficient at combining and interpreting both qualitative and quantitative data to identify patterns and devise original solutions
Able to independently prioritize tasks and take initiative to deliver results, even in the face of evolving demands and challenges
Thrive in high performing team environment: clearly and confidently assert unique perspectives, proactively collaborate with team members, own individual workstreams while targeting and celebrating team success
Compensation and benefits
Competitive salary commensurate with experience
Employee stock option grant at early‑stage, fast‑growing startup
Company‑supported healthcare, dental, and vision
