Job Summary

The Energy Solutions Advisor at Enbridge (contracted via Raise) is a high-level technical consultancy role focused on decarbonization and energy conservation in Ottawa’s commercial and affordable housing sectors. As a “Sustainability Strategist,” you are responsible for identifying natural gas reduction opportunities and guiding them through a complex technical and financial verification process. This role requires the “wit” to perform custom energy-saving calculations and the “grit” to manage a diverse portfolio of site walkthroughs and stakeholder negotiations across Eastern Ontario.

Job Details

Employer: Enbridge (Contingent Talent Community via Raise).
Location: 2571 Lancaster Rd, Ottawa, ON.
Work Style: Hybrid (In-office Mon, Tue, Thu; Remote Wed, Fri).
Status: 12-month Contract.
Field Requirement: Approximately 50% field-based; involves travel within Ontario and site visits.

Key Responsibilities: The Conservation Lifecycle

You lead the “Demand Side Management” (DSM) process, turning technical potential into verified energy savings.

Technical Assessments: Conduct on-site walkthroughs of commercial facilities to evaluate HVAC, boiler, and building automation systems (BAS).
Energy Modeling: Perform custom savings calculations and technical evaluations to determine the viability of conservation projects.
Account Management: Develop and execute annual plans for assigned territories, building long-term trust with property managers and plant engineers.
Advocacy & Education: Represent Enbridge at industry forums and trade shows, presenting conservation programs to encourage market participation.
Verification & Audit: Ensure all project documentation is “audit-ready,” supporting Measurement and Verification (M&V) activities to prove actual gas reductions.
Market Intelligence: Provide “boots-on-the-ground” insights to internal teams to help refine future energy-efficiency program designs.

Candidate Profile & Qualifications

The “Engineer-Salesperson”: A University degree in Mechanical, Chemical, or Electrical Engineering is preferred.
Experience: 4+ years of project engineering or technical sales in commercial environments (7+ years if no degree).
Technical Wit: Exceptional understanding of Commercial HVAC systems, boilers, and the Ontario Building Code.
Certifications: Membership with PEO (Professional Engineers of Ontario) and designations like CEM (Certified Energy Manager) or CMVP (Certified Measurement and Verification Professional) are major assets.
Communication Grit: Proven ability to influence stakeholders without explicit authority and present complex technical data to non-technical audiences.
Mobility: Must have a valid Ontario G-class driver’s license for frequent site visits.

Technical Insights: Demand Side Management (DSM)

In the 2026 energy landscape, DSM is a critical tool for utility providers to defer infrastructure costs and meet environmental targets.

The M&V Protocol: You will likely work with the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) to quantify the “Avoided Energy Use.”
BAS and Controls: A key part of the role involves evaluating Building Automation Systems. Often, significant savings are found not just in new hardware, but in “Sequence of Operations” (SOO) optimizations that reduce simultaneous heating and cooling.
Thermal Envelope: You will assess building sciences—insulation, glazing, and air sealing—to understand how the building “skin” affects the load on natural gas heating systems.

Why the Enbridge/Raise Partnership?

This role offers the stability of a major utility leader with the specialized support of a top-tier technical recruitment firm.

Impactful Work: You are directly contributing to North America’s transition to a lower-carbon future by reducing the “Carbon Intensity” of the built environment.
Professional Network: You will collaborate with a cross-functional team including Technical Reviewers, Program Designers, and external HVAC contractors.
Hybrid Flexibility: The structured hybrid model (3 days in-office) provides the “face time” needed for collaboration at the Lancaster Road office while offering remote flexibility.
Raise Benefits: As an employee of Raise, you gain access to a 60-year-old network of IT and engineering opportunities, ensuring your career remains dynamic.

Job Description

Do you believe that the cleanest energy is the energy we never use? Enbridge is seeking an Energy Solutions Advisor in Ottawa. We aren’t looking for a “sales rep”; we are looking for a technical authority who has the “grit” to walk through a mechanical room and the “wit” to calculate the exact ROI of a high-efficiency boiler retrofit. If you want to use your engineering expertise to drive sustainability in the commercial sector, you belong with us.

In this role, you are a “Conservation Consultant.” You understand that every cubic meter of gas saved is a win for the customer and the planet. Your goal is to provide “Excellence in Energy Efficiency,” ensuring our DSM targets are met through rigorous technical assessments and strong industry alliances. We look for “Results-focused” professionals who are self-starters, persuasive, and ready to lead the energy transition.

Joining this contingent talent community means stepping into a 12-month challenge with a leading North American energy company. We offer a competitive contract environment where your technical insights directly shape program success. If you are an engineering professional with a commitment to “Demand Side Management and Technical Excellence,” we invite you to apply through Raise and start making an impact in Ottawa.

Enbridge Contingent Talent Community: Powering the Future of Energy Together

The Enbridge Contingent Talent Community is defined by a culture of collaboration, technical excellence, and forward-thinking energy evolution. Its mission is to bridge the gap between skilled external talent and the critical infrastructure projects that fuel quality of life across North America. The internal environment is professional and safety-conscious, where contingent workers (contractors) are treated as vital extensions of the team. Managed in partnership with Raise (a recruitment firm specializing in technical staffing), the community offers a streamlined entry point for experts to contribute to one of the continent’s most resilient energy delivery networks.

In Ottawa, the Contingent Talent Community provides a gateway to roles that support the region’s energy security and sustainability goals:

The Ottawa Operations Centre: Located at 2571 Lancaster Rd, this facility is a state-of-the-art hub completed in late 2024. Designed with a focus on net-zero carbon certification, it features “enterprise zones” with flex workspaces and natural light, supporting both field workers and office-based contractors.
Employment Model: As a member of this community, you are legally an employee of Raise (the employer of record) but are assigned to work at Enbridge locations or remotely. You work under the guidance of Enbridge People Leaders, participating in daily stand-ups and project planning just like permanent staff.
Specialized Opportunity Pillars: Ottawa-based assignments often focus on:
- Energy Solutions: Roles like Energy Solutions Advisors who work with commercial and affordable housing sectors to identify conservation opportunities and reduce natural gas consumption.
- Regulatory & Decarbonization: Advisors based in the National Capital Region (including Gatineau) who support the transition to low-carbon technologies and navigate energy efficiency regulations.
- Project Engineering & IT: Technical roles focused on the maintenance of gas distribution systems and the implementation of modern workplace digital tools.
The “Safety & Inclusion” Mandate: Even for contingent workers, Enbridge’s core values—Safety, Integrity, Respect, Inclusion, and High Performance—are non-negotiable. Contractors are expected to adhere to “Lifesaving Rules” and are often encouraged to participate in a culture that values diverse perspectives as the “fuel for success.”
Hybrid Flexibility: Many Ottawa-based contract roles utilize a FlexWork model, typically requiring three days in-office (e.g., Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) with remote flexibility on other days, depending on the specific requirements of the project.

Engaging with the Enbridge Contingent Talent Community in Ottawa means becoming part of an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy. Whether you are a professional engineer assisting with HVAC efficiency or a data analyst supporting project governance, the experience is defined by a commitment to delivering energy that is “secure, reliable, and affordable” while working toward a net-zero future by 2050.
