Building Energy Simulation Specialist | WFH | Morning Shift

• We are seeking an experienced Building Energy Simulation Specialist to build, run, and interpret energy models for residential, commercial, and mixed-use building projects. This role is focused on simulation: modelling building geometry, envelope, HVAC, and operating conditions to assess performance, demonstrate compliance, and inform design decisions.

• We're particularly interested in candidates with hands-on experience in Section J JV3 performance solution modelling for the Australian National Construction Code, using tools such as DesignBuilder, IES VE, Better Buildings, or Speckle, and/or NatHERS residential thermal performance modelling with Hero, FR5 or similar. Experience with full building energy/rating modelling for NABERS, Green Star, LEED, or BREEAM is also highly regarded.

• You will be provided with strong mentors who are highly respected in the Australian buildings industry and be an integrated member of a close-knit team who are looking to expand their operations and impact. Performance based bonuses are available for the right candidate.

• Key Responsibilities

• Energy Simulation & Modelling

• Build detailed building energy models covering geometry, construction/envelope, occupancy, lighting, equipment and HVAC systems

• Run simulations to assess energy consumption, thermal performance, and compliance against NCC Section J (DTS and JV3 performance pathways) and/or NatHERS requirements.

• Undertake JV3 reference-building and proposed-building comparative modelling to demonstrate NCC energy-efficiency compliance.

• Undertake NatHERS star-rating assessments for residential dwellings.

• Undertake full building energy modelling to support sustainability rating submissions (NABERS, Green Star)

• Perform sensitivity analysis and compare design options (glazing, insulation, shading, thermal mass, HVAC systems, orientation) to optimise simulated performance.

• Interpret simulation outputs and translate results into clear compliance findings and design recommendations.
