Outreach Coordinator Jobs

Attention! Seeking an Outreach Coordinator for our New York Territory!

At Energy Infrastructure Partners, we believe innovation starts with the consumer.

Committed to the principles of Environmental Justice and workforce diversity, EIP works at the crossroads of resource efficiency programs, clean and renewable energy, and sustainability. We design and implement energy and water efficiency, renewable energy, and environmental justice programs for utilities and government. This approach has propelled our success in developing real-world solutions that impact people’s daily lives.

Energy Infrastructure Partners is searching for an outreach coordinator to join our program implementation team. In this role, you will recruit, train, and provide ongoing support to distributors, and other suppliers of energy efficient products participating in our program. The different program buys down the cost of energy-efficient products as an incentive for businesses to upgrade and reduce their energy consumption. To be clear, EIP does not sell the products; we implement energy efficiency and decarbonization programs for utility and government sponsors.

Are you an experienced sales professional with a knack for engaging with government entities? We are currently on the lookout for a proactive and results-oriented Outreach Coordinator to join our team. In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for conducting full-time prospecting activities targeting county, municipal, and federal government customers. Your primary objectives will be to identify decision makers involved in facility retrofit projects, raise awareness about our program, and identify eligible projects for which we can offer attractive incentives. Additionally, you will have access to a comprehensive project database to pursue specific opportunities.

While technical expertise is not required, the ideal candidate will possess a proven track record of successfully selling to public sector customers. Your ability to navigate complex organizational structures to identify key stakeholders and decision-makers will be crucial to your success. We seek a self-motivated individual who is comfortable making numerous phone calls daily and possesses excellent communication skills to effectively explain our program to facilities directors, finance directors, and engineering directors at a high level.
