Energy Manager Interview Questions

162 energy manager interview questions shared by candidates

During the interview the interviewer was very cold. they asked me tell us your previous experience. What do u expect what would be your role on this position etc etc. Since it was a technical position, they asked some technical questions and i answered all of them satisfactorily. then they asked me "can you tell me how much is the energy cost for Hannover tyre manufacturing plant". I knew there is no right or wrong answer for such questions and I started giving my approach to answer the question, but the interviewer got furious and asked me by banging three times on the table I need a figure and no explanation. I got really sad by seeing her behavior and took my time for not getting distracted and answer a figure out of the blue. I dont know whether she was testing my temper or what but i was really pissed off by her behavior. later when i was answering to a question, suddenly the HR guy disrupted and told that now its the time to wrap up. Then he began asking when u can join and what your salary expectation. After 2 weeks i did not hear anything and I had to call and ask whats the outcome. Its really sad to see their approach to handle interviews and how to treat a candidate during interview. Not expected from a company like Continental.

Many of our largest member companies, including in the tech, airline and biotech space, have committed to get to net-zero, often with aggressive timelines. While they are global companies, they have significant operations in California. Ironically, while California has professed a vigorous commitment to carbon reduction, in reality these companies are having a much more difficult time getting their California fleets, campuses and facilities to decarbonize here than in states that are vigorously opposed to decarbonization. California just makes it so hard to do anything, even when it accomplishes a shared goal with companies that want to decarbonize. How would you propose to assemble our related members, determine the right course of action, create and build a coalition, and work to secure changes in California to make it significantly easier for our members to decarbonize?
