The Opportunity

Are you looking for a career in the fast-growing energy efficiency industry? Do you enjoy meeting new people and being on the road running a schedule throughout the day? We are now hiring entry level home energy professionals who want to help homeowners upgrade their homes to Net Zero. If you're interested in a career, not just a paycheck, then look at what this position offers in the home services field. Specifically, the first steps in your new career involve:

You'll be meeting 6 to 8 new customers a day and helping them to upgrade their homes to high efficiency, comfortable spaces. You'll need to be a people person to succeed in this position.
Technicians have a company vehicle and run routes by themselves everyday. You'll start and end each day from your house and will communicate with the office and customers via web applications and phones. If this independent style work environment appeals to you, then you're probably a good fit.
At each visit, you'll be analyzing homes for possible energy improvements; communicating to customers about possible improvements and government incentives; and installing simple energy upgrades like high efficiency water saving devices and LED lighting.
Home Energy Upgrades is a fast growing field with significant government funding through state programs and the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act. Homes are transforming to high efficiency HVACs, air tight construction, solar power, and all electric appliances. With less than 0.5% of homes upgraded to date, the industry needs new professionals to meet the demand.
Pay for this position is based on appointments completed and services sold. Their is opportunity to grow your income based on how successful you are in the field.
Successful candidates will be trained on the latest technologies of high efficiency homes and how they can be added to homes right here in Maryland. We hope that you're thirsty for learning about home energy efficiency.
