BlocPower is a clean energy leader creating smarter, greener, healthier buildings for all by reducing the barriers to money-saving, quality-of-life-improving green building upgrade. We provide engineering, financing and project implementation services for our clients, with a special focus in historically left out communities across the country. These communities, and their buildings, are underserved by traditional energy services companies because they are considered too small, too costly, or too risky. Our portfolio of projects include houses of worship, schools, non-profits, small businesses and multifamily buildings. Through our work, we save our clients money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve health and create local employment opportunities.

At BlocPower, we value our mission. We are trusted advisors that get things done for our customers by using data to make the right decisions. We support and expect excellence from our team members. We treat both our customers and ourselves with care and respect.

As our work is centered around systematically disenfranchised communities – including people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women and LGBTQ people – we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.

About the Role

This role will be very demanding, with the goal of electrifying tens of thousands of buildings over the next three years and responsible for leading and driving the successful commercial execution of BlocPower’s national building electrification programs.

Because this role requires deep partnership with local communities, candidates must be a resident of the relevant region. The New York area is a large, critical market for BlocPower. The company has experience, strong electrification incentives and committed financing. Your primary duties will be to leverage this base and grow BlocPower’s business in the region with an emphasis on owners with multiple building portfolios
