Trane Technologies has an exciting opportunity for a Lighting Design Engineer within Energy Services. This role supports the technical development of turnkey lighting and controls solutions for design-build and energy savings projects. Working closely with project developers, energy engineers, sales, sourcing, and operations, this position is responsible for converting audit findings, customer requirements, and building conditions into technically sound, energy-efficient, and execution-ready lighting system designs.

The Lighting Design Engineer supports the design and documentation process from concept development through turnover to operations. Responsibilities include lighting layout development, fixture and controls application, illumination and lighting power density calculations, technical documentation, submittal support, constructability review, and technical validation of the proposed solution. This role requires strong technical aptitude, attention to detail, collaboration skills, and the ability to balance design quality, energy performance, cost considerations, and execution practicality.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Develop lighting and controls solutions for Energy Services opportunities using Trane and third-party technologies, as appropriate, to meet customer, project, and performance objectives
• Support development of design concepts based on customer goals, audit findings, existing conditions, and project requirements
• Utilize SnapCount by StreamLinx to develop detailed line-by-line retrofit solutions, maintain standardized solution catalog content, and support project development activities including audit data organization, solution selection, and proposal preparation.
• Perform lighting calculations, illumination analysis, and lighting power density evaluations using AGi32, Visual, DIALux, LightStanza, ElumTools, or similar software
• Create and review lighting layouts, fixture schedules, control intent, and supporting design documentation in AutoCAD, Revit, or similar platforms
• Support development of technical narratives, basis-of-design content, specifications, schedules, and system-level control requirements
• Coordinate with project developers, sales, energy engineers, and operations teams to align technical design with cost, savings, scope, and constructability objectives
• Research lighting products, controls technologies, and system application options to support solution development and standardization
• Validate fixture, controls, and system selections for compatibility, performance, maintainability, and implementation readiness
• Support energy savings assumptions and technical inputs used in project development, proposals, and internal reviews
• Review audit outputs and field documentation for technical completeness and design applicability
• Participate in technical review meetings, acquisition support efforts, and strategic project pursuit activities as needed
• Support preparation and review of submittals, cut sheets, luminaire schedules, control documentation, and other project technical deliverables
• Identify technical risks, design gaps, code issues, and constructability concerns early in the preconstruction process
• Support project transition from technical development through turnover to operations
• Help validate the effectiveness of design processes, technical tools, and solution development workflows and identify continuous improvement opportunities
• Perform site visits, field verification, and project support activities as required
