Energy Efficiency Engineers

Outlook

The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment in engineering and architecture professions will increase faster than the average for all careers through 2033. Energy efficiency engineers will have good employment opportunities due to the growing interest in efficient and cost-saving energy systems. The increasing demand for these specialized engineers will stem from growth in the construction industry. More commercial and residential building and renovations are projected for the coming years, and demand will increase for energy efficiency engineers to advise on the most productive and efficient energy systems.

Competition for jobs will be keen, but there will be entry-level opportunities for those with knowledge of energy systems, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and experience with 3-D and engineering modeling software.
