Jobs Details

Impact Infrastructure was founded in April 2012 and has offices in Manhattan and Toronto’s Annex at the Centre for Social Innovation. The company’s primary goal is to create a standardized suite of business case analysis tools to promote the development of more sustainable and resilient communities . The Impact Infrastructure team of professionals have played leadership roles in infrastructure development and consulting, project development, delivery and financing, economics, and Sustainable Return on Investment analysis.

Impact Infrastructure’s AutoCASE software automates business case analysis for infrastructure projects. The cloud-based solution plugs into Engineering, Architecture, and Design software and uses design information to quantify the Financial, Economic, Social, and Environmental value of projects. This information can be used so that a diverse range of stakeholders can answer the most important question: “What’s in it for me?” AutoCASE’s benefits include reduced stakeholder pushback, quicker project approval, and the building of more sustainable and resilient communities.

The economist will develop, document, update and maintain a database of environmental
 and social cost, benefits,
 and
 risks associated with infrastructure and buildings. The economist may also be involved in consulting projects, prototyping and testing models, writing documentation, and providing software support.
