SRC is looking to add a Preweatherization (Pre-WX) Specialist to our Energy Team.

Qualified applicants must have:



· A passion for energy efficiency!



· Professional or extensive personal experience in home construction, structural maintenance and/or repair, or weatherization.



· A valid driver’s license and a relatively clean driving record.



· An insured personal vehicle. SRC does not have a vehicle fleet; all staff members drive their own cars to visits. SRC reimburses mileage at the federal rate.



· Computer skills to operate Microsoft Office applications, and ease with modern office technology such as a copier and a scanner.







Additional Information:



This is a full-time position eligible for paid time off, vacation, paid holidays, 401(k) with employer match, medical and dental insurance, employer-paid life insurance, short-term disability and long-term disability benefits, and a cell phone stipend.
