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.

We are seeking an experienced Program Manager, Workforce Development to join our team in New York City. The ideal candidate will have experience in running workforce development training programs, strong familiarity with procurement and invoicing processes for New York City contracts, and deep commitment to growing opportunities for green jobs among under-represented communities.

In this role, you will be responsible for successfully administering a significant NYC workforce development contract, focused on preparing tomorrow’s leaders in the green economy and building electrification industry. You’ll be responsible for program oversight and financial administration, delivering an excellent experience for program participants, collaborating closely with a network of organizations to grow job placement rates, tracking program results, preparing impact assessment reports and other program management related tasks. A successful program will have a visible impact on the local economy and employment opportunities for the program participants.

This position is for a goal oriented, self motivated and outgoing “operations” person who is willing to roll up their sleeves to build something new alongside a motivated and passionate team. The ideal person will create and maintain positive working relationships with program participants. He/she must be a self-starter committed to the mission, values, beliefs of BlocPower.
