Why are you starting with an engineer rather than an architect or designer? Is there something about your site that is challenging?
We have a designer and architect and structural engineer I’m looking for a performance energy efficient designer engineer to help me with all the details for my climate zone
Someone may chime in with a specific recommendation. If that doesn't work out, I suggest searching RESNET (https://www.resnet.us/).
Your location may make it challenging to find a local resources. If that's the case, it is sometimes possible to work with different experts remotely. I did this when designing the HVAC for my previous home. (See here for more on this topic: https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/article/who-can-perform-my-load-calculations).
Thank you for the info
