  • Review pre-upgrade evaluations and retrofit plans against program guidelines (insulation, air sealing, heat pumps, HRV, bath fans, and upgrade-enabling asbestos/moisture remediation); prepare work orders and flag any conditional work
  • Assist building owners in the solicitation, selection, and/or review of retrofit contractor quotes upon request
  • Review contractor invoices, post-upgrade evaluations, and site photos to confirm that work was installed as intended; coordinate with advisors and contractors to correct deficiencies as needed
  • Track each home through every program stage; compile monthly progress reports & data files for program funders
  • Maintain data quality and safeguard customer information per privacy requirements
  • Communicate with all stakeholders in their preferred language
