Technical Outreach Specialist

Description

Performance Systems Development (PSD) is seeking a Technical Outreach Specialist to drive participation in our energy efficiency programs in New Jersey by recruiting and engaging property owners and other multifamily stakeholders into the program. This role exists to build strong external relationships, increase program visibility, and support customer adoption of participation tools and incentives.

As a Technical Outreach Specialist, you will:

• Educate eligible NJ multifamily property owners, contractors, managers, and other stakeholders about utility energy efficiency programs, eligibility requirements, program guidelines, incentives, and benefits.
• Conduct initial building energy assessments, using proprietary software, similar to an energy audit. During these assessments, information will be collected on‑site about energy consumption, HVAC/mechanical equipment, building envelope, pre‑existing conditions, facility needs, and plans that would inform recommendations for energy conservation measures. This involves data collection and discussions with the customer and/or contractors to understand energy usage and goals.
• Support the implementation of outreach strategies, marketing methods, and stakeholder engagement plans. Coordinate with internal teams to streamline processes and improve outcomes.

This position reports to the Program Manager and plays a key role in helping PSD ensure smooth program delivery through outreach, client engagement, and stakeholder coordination, ultimately contributing to successful program outcomes.
