Hi All, Starting new as an energy engineer. Working on building energy efficiency projects and learning the dynamics of the industry.
1.Need some insights on paths to grow in this role? (How and where to put my efforts in)
2. I’ve been told that there are two paths to grow.(A technical and a managerial path). Is this common across the industry?
3. How much do senior energy engineers/Program managers at the top make in general?

Thanks

1) if you’re just starting out, I’d just focus on networking, training, and learning about the industry and building a solid foundation of domain expertise (like understanding the full energy landscape and the context in which your firm and clients operate)
2) this is generally true for most energy/power companies, although many don’t have a very rewarding path for technical SMEs (eg, comp trajectory plateau).
3) this varies quite a bit, I’d assume most IC roles in industry top out around 150k or so depending on education, yoe, etc

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.
