JAbout the role
Our income-qualified program covers the full cost of energy efficiency upgrades for households that qualify — insulation, air sealing, heat pumps, duct work, and related health and safety repairs — at no cost to the homeowner. Upgrades can significantly lower utility costs, improve comfort and indoor air quality, and make homes safer and healthier, often with a life‑changing impact for families.
The Home Energy Advisor plays a vital, people-centered role in expanding access to energy efficiency services for income-qualified households in Clackamas County. This is the person who visits community members in their home, assesses it, and produces the report that drives everything that follows.
A significant share of the households we serve in Clackamas County speak Spanish at home. You'll conduct the assessment, determine what the home needs, explain it to the homeowner in the language they speak, and document your findings clearly enough for the rest of the team to act on.
Acerca del puesto
Nuestro programa, dirigido a hogares que califican según su nivel de ingresos, cubre el costo total de las mejoras de eficiencia energética: aislamiento, sellado de aire, bombas de calor, trabajo en ductos y reparaciones relacionadas con la salud y la seguridad, sin ningún costo para la persona propietaria. Estas mejoras pueden reducir considerablemente los costos de servicios públicos, mejorar la comodidad y la calidad del aire interior, y hacer que las viviendas sean más seguras y saludables, con un impacto que muchas veces transforma la vida de las familias.
La persona que ocupa el puesto de Home Energy Advisor (Asesor de Energía del Hogar) desempeña un papel fundamental y centrado en las personas para ampliar el acceso a los servicios de eficiencia energética entre los hogares que califican por ingresos en el condado de Clackamas. Es quien visita a los miembros de la comunidad en su vivienda, la evalúa y elabora el informe que guía todo lo que sigue.
Una parte significativa de los hogares que atendemos en el condado de Clackamas habla español en casa. Usted realizará la evaluación, determinará lo que necesita la vivienda, se lo explicará a la persona propietaria en su propio idioma y documentará sus hallazgos con la claridad suficiente para que el resto del equipo pueda actuar.
What you'll do
- Conduct in-home energy assessments in occupied homes — building shell, insulation, HVAC, and combustion safety testing
- Write Home Energy Assessments documenting existing conditions and recommended upgrades
- Explain findings, scope, and next steps to homeowners in English or Spanish, in plain language
- Walk homeowners through program eligibility and required paperwork
- Submit assessments and required documentation accurately and on time
- Represent the program at occasional community outreach events (some evenings and weekends)
How the role fits the team
Your assessments and recommendations drive the work, but you don't carry the project end to end. Contractor coordination, bid and invoice review, and post-installation quality assurance are handled by other members of the team. Your field schedule is set by a scheduling coordinator, based on your preferences, so you're not managing your own calendar or chasing appointments — you're in homes doing assessments.
What we're looking for
Required
- Conversational fluency in Spanish and English — you can hold a technical conversation with a homeowner in either language and put people at ease while doing it
- Strong written English. The Home Energy Assessment you produce is the primary deliverable of this role, and it needs to be complete, accurate, and clear to the people who work from it
- 3+ years in home performance, weatherization, residential construction, HVAC, home inspection, or a comparable in-home trade
- Working knowledge of residential building systems
- Careful documentation habits and attention to detail
- Comfortable working in attics and crawlspaces
- Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and reliable vehicle
- Ability to work independently in the field
Helpful, but not required to apply
- BPI Building Analyst certification (see below)
- Written Spanish for homeowner correspondence
- Prior experience with income-qualified, utility-funded, or weatherization assistance programs
- Existing ties to Clackamas County communities
Certification
You do not need to be BPI-certified to apply.
If you don't already hold BPI Building Analyst Technician, we will get you certified within your first three months. We cover the full cost of training, prerequisites, and exam fees, and you complete the training on paid work time.
If you have the trade background and the language skills but not the certification, apply.
Compensation and logistics
Starting salary: $75,000 – $85,000. This range already accounts for the bilingual requirement. Spanish fluency is core to this job and is built into the pay band, not treated as a bonus skill.
- Mileage currently reimbursed at $0.76 per mile
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus a company-paid health care concierge service
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid vacation, sick, personal, and parental leave
- Paid volunteer time
- Employee recognition program and on-demand career training
Where you'll work: This is a field position based in Clackamas County. Most of your day is spent in homes and in your vehicle, with a home office for reporting and administrative work. Ideal candidates live in Clackamas County or the greater Portland metro area.
