Energy Management Specialist

Job Description:

IoT.nxt is seeking a seasoned Energy Consultant to join our team, working with our cutting-edge Remote Management System (RMS) platform that integrates Energy Management System (EMS) functionality. The role focuses on helping customers across industries—telecom, utilities, commercial, and industrial—drive energy efficiency, reduce costs, and meet ESG objectives through our software solution. You will work with our product team to ensure industry standards (like ISO 50001) are built into the platform and consult directly with customers both pre- and post-sales. You'll use energy data collected by the EMS to develop insights and recommend practical improvements, support implementation, and track impact. This is a hybrid role requiring technical, analytical, and consultative skills with real-world application.

Key Result Areas:

1. Define and Evolve EMS Features
   Work with the product and engineering teams to shape EMS capabilities by translating customer needs and industry best practices (e.g., ISO 50001) into product features such as data analytics, automated alerts, and AI-driven optimisation recommendations.
2. Support Pre-Sales Consultations
   Collaborate with the sales and solutions engineering teams to engage prospective clients. Assist in gathering customer energy goals, presenting demos, and building business cases that showcase how the EMS delivers energy savings and ESG compliance.
3. Lead Customer Onboarding and Enablement
   Guide new customers through EMS setup and onboarding, tailoring dashboards, configuring alerts, and aligning system outputs with site-level goals. Provide support for energy managers, operations teams, and executives.
4. Analyse EMS Data to Identify Opportunities
   Interpret telemetry and metering data from the RMS/EMS platform to uncover inefficiencies, abnormal consumption patterns, and opportunities for savings. Use insights to support both short-term wins and long-term optimisation.
5. Deliver Actionable Insights and Reports
   Develop data-backed reports and business cases that recommend operational changes—such as generator runtime adjustments, HVAC scheduling, or battery optimisation—quantifying their potential energy and cost impact.
6. Implement and Validate Control Strategies
   Collaborate with customer teams to execute recommended actions. Fine-tune control logic, thresholds, and EMS configurations, then monitor post-implementation performance to verify energy and cost savings.
7. Support ESG Reporting and Compliance
   Help clients leverage EMS data for regulatory or voluntary reporting (e.g., carbon footprint, sustainability KPIs). Guide alignment with ESG frameworks and audit-readiness practices.
8. Act as an Energy Systems Subject Matter Expert
   Provide expertise across multiple systems: grid, solar, batteries, HVAC, compressed air, lighting, and more. Guide platform configuration to reflect real-world asset behaviour.
9. Collaborate Cross-Functionally
   Work closely with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Marketing teams to ensure EMS strategy is aligned across the organisation and externally communicated.
10. Drive Product and Process Improvement
    Gather feedback from customer engagements and use cases to recommend platform enhancements. Contribute to internal documentation, playbooks, and best practice libraries.
