• Work independently day-to-day while leaning on a strong technical team for support

The Type Of Person Who Thrives Here

• Confident, professional, and personable (you build rapport fast)
• Independent and organized (you manage travel, priorities, and deadlines)
• Thick-skinned with a sense of humor (construction environments aren't delicate)
• Career-focused (we invest heavily in training and want people to stick around)
• Interested in energy efficiency and sustainable building (curious + practical)

Compensation & Benefits

• Full-time, permanent, on-site role with local travel
• Pay $60,000 to $70,000 CAD starting (higher for already-registered EAs)
• Performance bonus: up to 6% of salary annually
• Mileage reimbursement + cell phone allowance
• Extended health benefits
• Company laptop + required testing equipment/tools
• Vacation: 2 weeks to start + paid Christmas holiday shutdown
