Our interest will be even greater if you have these qualifications:

10+ years experience in a building related field, preferably experience in mechanical engineering, architecture, HVAC design, commissioning or building operations.
Experience in designing/evaluating state-of-the-art sustainable design technologies for commercial new construction that might include: natural ventilation, mixed-mode ventilation, solar cooling, etc.
