Overview

TRC creates and implements sophisticated and innovative solutions to the challenges facing America’s energy markets and infrastructure. As a national energy and environmental services organization, TRC provides its services to America’s major industries, utilities, banks, insurance companies and federal, state, and local government agencies.

TRC is seeking Account Managers working with trade contractors to support the delivery of a large commercial and multifamily energy efficiency program based in Portland, OR. Through the program, we deliver technical assistance and cash incentives to customers in commercial and multifamily facilities and buildings to help make electric and natural gas energy efficiency upgrades possible. The ideal candidate will be assertive, personable, and a self-starter, with the capacity to build and maintain lasting relationships with contractors installing energy efficient systems throughout Central Oregon. Fluency in Spanish is highly desirable but not required.

This position will work in a growing team of trade ally outreach staff focused on market adoption of energy efficient technologies, correct use of those technologies, and participation in client-sponsored incentive programs with an emphasis on empowering minority-owned, women-owned, rural-owned, and veteran owned businesses that have limited experience working with efficiency programs. The ideal candidate will understand electric and natural gas energy systems (HVAC, boilers, foodservice equipment, etc.) and display a passion for energy resiliency and bridging gaps between under-resourced customers and utility programs. Previous outreach experience with energy efficiency programs, building performance principles and best practices, and/or construction management is preferred, but not required.

The position requires a valid US driver’s license and use of a personal vehicle for travel to connect with key partners throughout the Central Oregon counties of Jefferson, Wheeler, Crook, and Deschutes but may require some additional travel to other parts of Southern Oregon.

This position would ideally be based in or near Bend/Redmond, OR.
