Part-Time Energy Auditor

About Bay Efficiency

Bay Efficiency is a Los Angeles-based energy consulting firm serving commercial and residential clients across Southern California. We conduct on-site energy audits that help building owners reduce costs and improve efficiency.
We are hiring up to two part-time energy auditors to join our team. Paid training is provided. No prior energy auditing experience is required.

Responsibilities

• Conduct site visits to commercial and residential buildings (up to four buildings per day)
• Identify and inventory on-site equipment including lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, and water systems
• Collect and catalog data on HVAC systems such as furnaces, VAV boxes, boilers, chillers, and package units
• Identify lighting by fixture type and lamp shape (LED, CFL, incandescent, fluorescent, halogen)
• Photograph equipment and relevant building details
• Catalog all collected data in the company application
• Interact professionally with building owners and property managers during site visits
• Maintain clear and timely communication with the Bay Efficiency team

What We're Looking For

• Professional presentation and demeanor. You are the face of Bay Efficiency at every client site.
• Comfort working in commercial buildings and speaking with building owners and property managers.
• Strong attention to detail. Accurate equipment counts and thorough documentation are the core deliverable.
• Reliability and consistency. Show up on time, follow established procedures, submit data correctly.
• Interest in ongoing part-time work, not a short-term or transitional role.
• Valid driver's license and reliable personal transportation required.
• Smartphone with a reliable camera required.

Preferred Qualifications
These are a plus but not required:
• Prior experience in any field-facing or building-adjacent role (real estate, property management, inspections, construction, facilities, HVAC, or similar)
Compensation and Classification
Rate is determined by prior field or building-adjacent experience (e.g., construction, facilities, HVAC, inspections, property management) and years of experience in relevant fields.

• W-2 employee
• Workers' compensation coverage provided
• Approximately 15–20 hrs/week

Email Screening Questions
1. This is a long-term part-time role (15–20 hrs/week, Mon–Fri, flexible scheduling during business hours) and is not expected to transition into full-time. Please describe your current commitments (work, school, family, or other responsibilities) and explain why part-time is the right fit for you right now. How would you structure your week to complete audits consistently?
2. Auditors represent Bay Efficiency on-site with building owners, property managers, and tenants. Describe your experience working in or visiting commercial buildings, the environments, your role, and your level of responsibility. Then walk us through a specific time you entered a building and introduced yourself to someone you didn't know.

We're seeking someone interested in a long-term role, not just a short-term engagement. For the right person, we are willing to be flexible on compensation and offer the highest rate we can reasonably support.
