Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This opportunity offers the chance to play a direct role in advancing energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives within local communities. You’ll work in a supportive, low-pressure environment where consistent hourly pay is guaranteed, allowing you to focus on meaningful customer engagement rather than high-stakes sales. The role provides strong onboarding, hands-on field training, and the opportunity to build valuable communication and outreach experience. With involvement in innovative energy programs and growing infrastructure initiatives, this is a unique entry point into a rapidly evolving industry.
Overview
This is a 12-month contract, field-based position supporting a leading organization in the smart utility industry. The Contract Canvasser will promote participation in an energy-saving program by engaging directly with small business owners and commercial customers through door-to-door outreach.
This role focuses on educating customers about energy efficiency solutions, cost savings, and sustainability benefits. It is not a high-pressure sales role—employees are paid hourly with a consistent 40-hour work week regardless of enrollment numbers. Candidates should be comfortable working outdoors, walking for extended periods, and engaging with a variety of business stakeholders.
