Contractor Programming Manager

The Contractor Programming Manager is an experienced and technical expert who will support Rewiring America’s contractor-facing initiatives across the country.

Power Forward Communities, a coalition of which Rewiring America is a part of, was recently awarded $2 billion from the EPA as part of the National Clean Investment Fund. With the help of our growing team, we plan to use this capital to deploy subsidized loans, software products and market building tactics to ensure that Low Income & Disadvantaged Communities (LIDACs) are not left out of the clean energy transition.

Our program will orchestrate on-the-ground electrification installs, including but not limited to: heat pump HVAC, heat pump water heaters, electric panel upgrades, remediation, and weatherization. We aim to make this process as seamless and efficient as possible for both contractors and program participants, making this position paramount in helping us achieve that goal.

In this role, the Contractor Programming Manager will be responsible for helping shape and implement our strategy for working with local contractors across the country to deliver high quality electrification installs. In addition, this person will provide significant technical and programmatic expertise to support the development of our programs and offerings.

This role will report to Rewiring America’s Director of Market Development.

• Market Strategy. Support Rewiring America’s market shaping initiatives by driving unique, creative, and innovative concepts that push the boundaries on traditional ways of approaching the market.

We expect this role will include light travel to visit local contractor partners, on the order of 2-4 trips per quarter.
