About the Role

• Participate in interviews and user research sessions with builders, energy advisors, and municipal staff.


• Identify user needs, gaps, and opportunities to support future product development.


• Prepare research summaries, technical briefs, and internal documentation.


• Support coordination tasks, meeting notes, and follow-ups with partners and stakeholders.


• Work independently on assigned research and development tasks with minimal supervision.

Required Qualifications


• Post-secondary graduate in building science, architectural technology, engineering, environmental studies, or a related field.


• Strong interest in energy efficiency, residential construction, and building science.


• Excellent research and synthesis skills.


• Strong soft skills: communication, professionalism, adaptability, curiosity, and attention to detail.


• Comfortable interviewing industry professionals and gathering user feedback.


• Able to work independently in a remote environment with a flexible schedule.


• Valid driver's licence and ability to travel within Alberta.


• Must meet Youth Employment Program eligibility (under 30, Canadian citizen or PR, not receiving EI).

Assets


• Familiarity with HOT2000 or energy modeling concepts.


• Experience organizing datasets or working with technical information.
