Crew Coordination

• Work with field crews to plan and execute work efficiently in occupied buildings
• Assist with onboarding, training, and mentoring new field staff as needed
• Ensure work is completed safely, efficiently, and to Zerodraft and utility standards
• Lead weekly multifamily sales and project management meetings to review pipeline, opportunities, and strategies
• Collaborate with the team to manage multifamily-specific company CRM database
• Help improve multifamily-focused marketing collateral
• Participate in occasional multifamily-focused trade shows and networking events to increase Zerodraft’s exposure and build executive level property owner and management contacts
• Support project and client specific sales efforts, combining field visits and office work to reach out in person or remotely to property manager and other stakeholders

Project Types Include

• Market-rate and affordable multifamily projects
• Utility and state incentive programs (BGE, Pepco, Delmarva, DHCD, MEEHA, etc.)
• Water water conservation and heating upgrades (including Mosaic programs)
• Lighting upgrades, controls, insulation, and other building system retrofits

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of experience in project management, construction, energy efficiency, building systems, or a related field
• Experience managing active projects while also planning upcoming work, and maintaining the project pipeline
• Strong verbal and written communication and organizational skills
• Comfortable working with field teams and occupied buildings
