• Champion sustainability efforts—participate in committees, refine practices, and support company-wide green initiatives.
• Continuously improve—develop and enhance SOPs to streamline operations and boost performance.

What You Bring

• 3–5+ years of experience in utility management, financial analysis, or sustainability (real estate experience preferred).
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Sustainability, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Proven experience managing utility budgets and third-party vendors.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; you love turning data into insights.
• Expert in Excel and comfortable with utility management platforms.
• Excellent communicator—able to collaborate effectively across teams and levels.
• Organized, proactive, and detail-oriented with a knack for driving cross-functional projects.
