Every large company was once a startup. And inside large companies are billion-dollar ideas, hidden talent and ready capital – resources and expertise that are the envy of any startup. Yet most companies never realize the potential of their built-in advantages for growth. 

Why? Because doing that requires them to think and act differently — to recapture the spirit, spark, and speed of their entrepreneurial origins. It’s exceptionally difficult to do — but Mach49 does just that. We help ambitious companies unlock new disruptive growth through Venture Building and Venture Investing. 

Focused 100% on execution, we bring Silicon Valley expertise to building and investing in a portfolio of ventures — building capability, not dependency. Learn more at www.mach49.com. 

Mach49 is hiring on behalf of our client CQuel, a young and fast-growing venture backed by Hines, one of the world's leading real estate investors with over $90B assets under management (AUM). CQuel's mission is to make decarbonising commercial properties hassle-free by leveraging leading experts and technologies, all on one platform. Today CQuel operates in the UK and Germany and has a strong team of 10 employees with vast experience from building and scaling software companies and marketplaces within sustainability, real estate and decarbonisation. The venture now is getting traction and approaching Product-Market fit, and thus looking to add to its team. 

 

The Role         

We are seeking an experienced Sustainability Solutions engineer with a start-up mindset who can be our subject matter expert through all the steps of the decarbonisation journey on CQuel. You need to know the technical side of the decarbonisation of commercial buildings, and, more importantly, know how to use that knowledge to ensure that all CQuel's vetted freelance engineers, software providers and net zero installers continuously perform at the highest level. This is not a job for someone who wants to execute on a playbook; this is a job for someone who likes the challenge of creating something new and doing things differently. 

In your day to day work, you will:

  • Guide and approve building assessments done by CQuel's partners 
  • Quality ensure the tendering processes on CQuel’s platform
  • Onboard new Solution Partners and technology providers
  • Manage our pool of CQuel engineering & other technical operations contractors and deploy them efficiently on all our different projects 
  • Oversee and influence CQuel's involvement during the delivery phase of technical solutions for assets
  • Define the best internal processes and give subject matter expertise to our engineering team so they can create a stellar software 

Experience

Our Senior Engineer should ideally: 

  • Have a Mechanical Engineering / Construction Management / Technical Management / Architecture degree or equivalent
  • Has a strong understanding of relevant decarbonization technologies, including solar, heat pumps, demand optimization, and BMS upgrades, as well as other relevant building efficiency measures.
  • Have experience at a medium-sized to large-sized building company with demonstrable experience in-field as an engineer
  • Have an exceptional ability to develop strong relationships with partners and peers
  • Love creating and improving processes and push standards up every day
  • Have experience from a fast-moving and early- stage digital start-up/growth business experience or some familiarity equivalent from your current day to day work. 

 

Our client is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. We’re helping them build a diverse, inclusive, empathetic community where every one of us belongs. A place — not just a workplace — that reflects the people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, national origins, backgrounds, and perspectives who share our world.

Our client may require background and reference checks.

Authorization to work remotely from within the UK, Germany or Spain required.

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Mach49’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
