*About Big Ladder Software*
Big Ladder is a Denver-based company dedicated to providing services and
software *for energy modelers*. The company name reflects our mission to
"help our clients reach new heights". Founded in 2009, we are a team of
engineers and computer programmers who are passionate about developing
innovative open-source software tools for the modeling of buildings,
transportation, communities, and all areas of energy efficiency and
renewables. We primarily use the EnergyPlus simulation engine to perform
whole-building energy analyses. We also offer training workshops,
commercial support, and custom software development services for EnergyPlus.
*Job Description*
This job is for a full-time position at our Denver location. A flexible
remote-working arrangement may be possible in some cases. If hired,
responsibilities would include:
- performing building energy analyses using EnergyPlus
- providing support for our clients using EnergyPlus and our software tools
- teaching training workshops on EnergyPlus and our software tools
- developing training materials and tutorials
- influencing the direction of new software tools for energy modeling
- authoring white papers, technical papers, and blog posts on energy
modeling topics

daily basis, and it frustrates you to no end

have performed or been heavily exposed to design work

life
- you have an entrepreneurial streak that has gone untapped for too long

at) EnergyPlus

modeling
