Energy Efficiency Outbound Specialists Needed - Hourly Base + Commissions + High Performance Bonus Why This Role Matters: We believe small actions lead to big change and sometimes it starts with a simple phone call. Our team helps commercial building owners and property managers in California understand their responsibilities under energy and water benchmarking regulations such as AB802. These rules are in place to reduce environmental impact and create healthier, more efficient spaces. But many building owners just don’t know where to begin. That’s where you come in. This role is about creating awareness to building owners and property managers about the requirements of the CA energy benchmarking laws. You don’t sell a service, neither are you soliciting. You are there to explain that they are subject to fines, but there’s still a way back into good standing with the state and city.
