$34.00-$38.00 (Based on experience & certifications) About Us Assured Energy Solutions is a growing energy efficiency, weatherization, insulation, and HVAC company serving residential and multifamily customers throughout Illinois and Indiana. We work with multiple utility and energy efficiency programs to help homeowners and property owners make their buildings more comfortable, energy efficient, and cost-effective. We are looking for someone who can do more than simply walk through a home and check a box. We need a hands-on, experienced field professional who understands how homes work, can identify energy efficiency opportunities, communicate with customers, make minor repairs, and recognize when a customer could benefit from additional services. If you have experience in weatherization, insulation, HVAC, home inspections, construction, remodeling, carpentry, or residential energy efficiency , this may be a great fit. The Position The Energy Efficiency Assessor / Home Performance Advisor is a hybrid field position combining residential energy assessments, weatherization knowledge, minor home repairs, customer education, and sales. You will visit residential and multifamily properties, evaluate the condition and energy efficiency of the building, document your findings with photographs and measurements, and determine what improvements may help the customer reduce energy usage and improve comfort. You will also work with customers who may not qualify for a utility-sponsored program but are still interested in improving their home. This position requires someone who can look at a home and think: "What is happening here, why is it happening, and what can we do to improve it?" What You Will DoResidential Energy Assessments Conduct in-home energy efficiency assessments and walkthroughs. Take detailed photographs, measurements, notes, and documentation. Evaluate attics, crawlspaces, walls, basements, mechanical areas, and other areas affecting energy efficiency. Identify potential insulation, air sealing, ventilation, and weatherization needs. Evaluate general HVAC conditions and recognize obvious opportunities for repair, replacement, maintenance, or efficiency improvements. Identify potential health, safety, moisture, or building-condition concerns and report them appropriately. Determine whether a residence may qualify for available utility or energy efficiency programs. Complete required documentation accurately and thoroughly. Follow program-specific requirements, procedures, and documentation standards. Work with residential and multifamily properties. Minor Repairs & Hands-On Work Perform minor carpentry and handyman repairs when appropriate. Make basic repairs associated with weatherization or energy efficiency work. Repair or address minor drywall, trim, access, sealing, or other household issues. Safely use common hand and power tools. Recognize when a repair is outside the scope of the position and requires a qualified trade professional. Maintain a clean and professional work area while working inside customers' homes. Customer Education & Sales Explain energy efficiency findings to homeowners and property representatives in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. Educate customers on how insulation, air sealing, HVAC systems, and other improvements can affect comfort and utility costs. Identify opportunities for additional work when customers do not qualify for utility programs. Present private-pay options and upgrades based on the customer's needs. Recommend solutions without using high-pressure sales tactics. Develop trust with customers and help them understand the value of recommended improvements. Follow up on opportunities and assist in converting qualified leads into completed work. Support both residential and multifamily sales opportunities.

The right person will be:
Hands-On:
You understand homes because you have worked on them—not just because you have read about them.
Observant:
You notice the insulation that is missing, the ductwork that does not look right, the air leakage around a penetration, or the repair that another person may overlook.
Technical:
You can understand the basics of how insulation, HVAC, ventilation, air sealing, and the building envelope work together.
Customer-Focused:
You are comfortable walking into someone's home, earning their trust, and explaining what you find without talking over their head.
Sales-Minded:
You recognize that not every customer qualifies for a utility program, but that does not mean there isn't a solution we can offer.
Resourceful:
You can make a minor repair yourself when appropriate and know when something needs to be referred to another trade.
Accurate:
Your pictures, measurements, notes, and documentation are complete enough that another employee can understand exactly what you saw in the home.
Professional:
You represent Assured Energy Solutions in customers' homes and understand that your professionalism matters.
