Join the team that creates innovated and integrated designs for 21st Century Learning and

CLIENT OVERVIEW: SitelogIQ is a full-service master planning, design, program management, energy efficiency and facility solutions company with 30 offices located across the continental United States. They employ over 700 architects, engineers, licensed construction contractors, building automation experts, certified energy managers, program managers and other professionals dedicated to creating healthy and efficient buildings which stimulate peak performance in the healing, learning, working and living environments. The K-12 division of SitelogIQ began in the early 1990’s as Energy Services Group (ESG) based in Minneapolis/St. Paul, and over years and has continually sustained long term relationships with school districts and municipalities in the Midwest. The founders of ESG identified a growing need for a privately-owned, Midwest-based company whose primary focus would be helping K-12 clients meet both short and long-term facility management planning goals. Subsequently, Unesco was founded and in four short years grew to exceed the size of ESG. They are currently responsible for $100 million of construction annually. This was carried out by UNESCO’s founders’ connection to the industry, and more importantly, to the regional markets served which resulted in hand-picking the best and brightest personnel from which to build the company. The response in the industry to the formation of Unesco and their specialized treatment of both clients and employees has resulted in exponential growth. This growth and greater market demand for diverse financial options created challenges of its own. After evaluating a number of options, Unesco elected to take on a strategic equity partner, Oaktree Capital (NYSE: OAK) who manages over $121 billion in assets. This new financial position provided the financial stability to support the Unesco team in its ability to develop, finance, implement and operate any project size in the markets it serves and to expand nationally. Unesco joined forces with several industry-leading companies to form SitelogIQ, the largest privately-owned, full-service facility design, engineering, construction, management, energy, and lighting solutions company in the U.S. Collectively, they have served more than 11,000 client sites, for a total construction project value of over $5 billion and energy and operational savings which surpass $1 billion. SitelogIQ was founded on mission and vison of Employees First. This is not a set of activities, it’s a philosophy that permeates every aspect of the corporate culture. The leadership team believes that truly great companies don’t simply have a talent management strategy, their corporate strategy actually revolves
