About the role

Job description

Are you passionate about energy efficiency, building digitalization, decarbonization, and intelligent facility operations? Do you want to be an active part of the energy transformation of one of Europe's leading technology centers?

At TECNALIA we are looking to hire an Energy Management and Smart Buildings Manager, a newly created strategic position from which to lead the energy operation of our infrastructures, driving efficiency, digitalization, and the integration of new technologies.

If you are motivated by working with smart buildings, BEMS platforms, renewable energy, and data analytics applied to facility operations, we want to meet you.

What you'll do

What will you do?

You will lead the energy management of TECNALIA's facilities, optimizing energy consumption, user comfort, and building performance.

You will be functionally responsible for the building energy management platform (BEMS), ensuring its proper operation, evolution, and data quality, as well as the continuous monitoring of the facilities.

You will monitor the performance of the facilities using digital tools, identifying deviations, opportunities for improvement, and proposing energy optimization strategies.

You will define and update facility operation strategies (setpoints, schedules, operating sequences, and operating modes) in coordination with the Maintenance Manager.

You will develop energy indicators, dashboards, and reports tracking consumption, energy costs, CO₂ emissions, and facility performance, verifying the savings achieved through measurement and verification methodologies.

You will collaborate with research teams on the implementation of new technologies related to monitoring, digitalization, renewable energy, energy flexibility, and decarbonization, using TECNALIA's infrastructure as a Living Lab.

You will collaborate with the Infrastructure and Projects Manager on the technical definition of new investments in energy facilities, ensuring that energy efficiency, sustainability, and future operation criteria are integrated from the design phase.

You will provide technical support in the procurement and optimization of energy supplies, analyzing opportunities for improvement in costs, contracting, and demand management.

You will identify, analyze, and promote funding opportunities, public aid, and incentives linked to energy efficiency, decarbonization, and renewable energy, including the management of Energy Savings Certificates (CAE) and other investment support mechanisms.

You will drive the identification and development of initiatives that maximize the economic return of energy efficiency and decarbonization actions, coordinating their technical justification and follow-up when necessary.

You will collaborate on audits related to energy, sustainability, and the environment, as well as on the implementation and improvement of energy management systems.

You will coordinate with the Maintenance Manager the necessary actions when energy monitoring detects performance losses or incidents in the facilities, subsequently verifying the recovery of expected performance.
