Who We Are
Over the last 19 years, Renteknik has established itself as one of the global leaders in energy engineering services, with a focus on delivering efficiency insights for our customers. Through the strength of our engineering team and the quality of the manufacturers we represent, we have built international relationships with many brands you know like IKEA, Magna International, PepsiCo, Hitachi Astemo, Burberry, Jaguar Land Rover, and hundreds of other major companies. All have experienced the impactful insights our solutions can provide to drive efficiency and produce operational excellence.
What We Do
At our core, we have the best and brightest energy engineers in the industry. We aren’t desk jockeys running theoretical simulations for customers; we learn more onsite by taking a deeper dive into their needs by understanding their operations, their pain points, and knowledge gaps we can help to fill for better operational decision-making capabilities.
Over the last decade, we have focused our engineering capabilities on curating the finest metering products available for electric, gas, water, compressed air, and other fluids. Very few companies have the capability to properly measure what they consume and where they consume it, so our submetering solutions provide actionable insights to enhance their productivity, sustainability, preventative maintenance, and resource planning strategies.
Where We Do It
We don’t believe in geographic restrictions if our customers’ needs take us there. We are headquartered in the GTA (Burlington, ON), with current projects throughout the U.S., Latin America, and Europe. Our goal is to be an undeniable resource globally for our clients where we can help them establish reporting and benchmarking standards across their portfolio.
What We Provide You
The power of Renteknik is its people- our sales team, the project managers, the product experts, the capable administrative team. Yet it’s our Engineering Team that is at the core of our company, providing analysis and critical insights to drive transformational efficiency gains for our clients. The Sr. Efficiency Engineer is a critical role within the Engineering Team, bringing mechanical systems experience to bear to uncover opportunities for operational improvements and innovating ways we can deliver impact for our customers.
As a result, we are proud to provide industry leading benefits to reflect the importance of well-being for our team, including:
- Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance
- Competitive PTO
- Continuing Education Opportunities
- Team Trips and Events
