Director, Software Engineering (Hybrid - Boston, MA)

Interested in joining a growing company where you will work with talented colleagues, enhance a supportive and energetic culture, and be part of the climate solution? At Energy Solutions, we focus on the big impacts. And we believe that market-based programs can be a powerful force to deliver large-scale energy, carbon, and water-use savings. Since 1995, we've harnessed that power to offer proven, performance-based solutions for our utility, government, and institutional customers.

Energy Solutions is currently seeking a seasoned Director of Software Engineering to lead our Information Systems Software Engineering team.

This unique opportunity is perfect for individuals with technical prowess that want to have an impact on energy efficiency markets and greenhouse gas reductions through our work for major North American utilities and other clients around the country.

This is a hybrid work opportunity. At ES, this means working onsite at one of our offices a minimum of 1 day / week (currently Wednesdays) with flexibility for the remainder of the days. ES has offices in Oakland, CA; Orange, CA; Portland, OR; Chicago, IL; New York, NY and Boston, MA.
