About the role

We are looking for a talented individual to support the delivery of an innovative and equity-focused residential energy efficiency program for our client's customers based in Central Oregon.

About the role

Our income-qualified program delivers no-cost and low-cost energy efficiency upgrades, including insulation, air sealing, heating and cooling systems, duct work, and related health and safety repairs. We are adding a role to our Central Oregon team to lead outreach and connect eligible households with the program.

The role starts with a focus on outreach

strengthening relationships with the agencies, organizations, and local institutions that serve income-qualified households, and turning those relationships into program referrals. You will develop and lead the outreach strategy for the region. As referral volume grows, you will take on in-home energy assessments, and over time the role settles at approximately 60% assessments and 40% outreach.

We are looking for someone with established ties to the community, a talent for building relationships, along with the technical aptitude to assess a home.

What you'll do

Outreach and referral development (the focus at the start; about 40% long term)

• Develop and maintain working relationships with social service providers, housing providers, municipalities, schools, and other local organizations that serve income-qualified households
• Develop and carry out the strategy for generating referrals in Central Oregon, and track results
• Represent the program at community events, workshops, and partner meetings, including some evenings and weekends
• Contribute to the marketing plan for the region
• Reach underserved communities in the places where they already get information
• Report outreach activity, referral sources, and results to program management

Home energy assessments (added as referral volume grows; about 60% long term)

• Conduct in-home energy assessments in occupied homes: building envelope, insulation, HVAC, and diagnostic testing
• Document existing conditions and write Home Energy Assessment reports with recommended upgrades
• Determine program eligibility and explain findings, scope, and next steps to homeowners in plain language
• Hand each project off to the program team with complete, accurate documentation

What we're looking for

Required

• 3+ years in a community-facing or in-home role (outreach, partnership development, sales, home performance, weatherization, home inspection, construction, or similar), including demonstrated outreach or lead generation results you can describe
• Strong written and verbal English. The Home Energy Assessment report will be a core deliverable of this role and must be clear and accurate
• Ability to explain technical information to homeowners in plain language
• Comfortable working in attics, crawlspaces, and unconditioned spaces
• Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and reliable vehicle. Expect regular driving across Central Oregon
• Ability to work independently in a field-based role
• Must live in Central Oregon, in Crook, Deschutes, or Jefferson counties

Strongly preferred

• Existing relationships with Central Oregon agencies, nonprofits, or other organizations serving low-income households
• Working knowledge of residential building systems, HVAC, and energy efficiency measures
• BPI Building Analyst Technician certification (not required to apply; see below)
• Spanish fluency
• Experience with utility-funded, weatherization, or other income-qualified programs

Certification and training

• BPI Building Analyst Technician certification is required before you begin conducting assessments.
• You do not need to hold it when you apply.
• If you don't, we cover the full cost of training and exam fees and schedule the training on paid work time.
• If your strength is outreach and your building science background is limited, we'll train you on the technical side.
