• Conduct and/or coordinate QA/QC reviews of field work against program, safety, and building science standards.
• Document findings, follow up on corrective actions, and support continuous improvement of QA/QC processes.

Work Order & Operations Coordination

• Process, track, and maintain work orders across the program pipeline; monitor for bottlenecks or delays.
• Support reporting, file management, and general operational administration, including transitions to new operational systems.
• Coordinate field visit logistics with communities and subcontractors.

Escalations & Client Engagement

• Act as a point of contact for sensitive subcontractor or community escalations, including direct outreach to contractors or participants and follow-up actions required by external bodies.
• Participate in and add value to client interactions, answer day-to-day questions, and support the Program Manager when unavailable.

Field & Community Engagement

• Travel regularly (average a few days per month) to participating Northern First Nation and Métis communities to support field activity and oversee on-site work.
• Build and maintain respectful, collaborative relationships with community members, leadership, and housing authorities.

What you bring:

Required

• 5+ years of relevant experience in construction, trades, residential energy efficiency, or program operations.
• Advanced Excel and analytical skills; able to work independently with minimal day-to-day direction.
• Demonstrated ability to produce complex, accurate reports that comply with contract terms.
• Experience developing or using tools, trackers, and calculators that support program staff, clients, and contractors.
• Working knowledge of residential building science, home construction practices, and/or energy efficiency retrofits.
• Experience coordinating or overseeing external contractors, subcontractors, or trades, or strong potential from prior hands-on trades experience.
• Comfortable handling sensitive escalations and communicating directly with contractors, participants, and other stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills, able to manage multiple work orders, schedules, and priorities at once.
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record; willing to travel regularly (up to ~20%, including overnight) to remote and Northern communities.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to train and support others.

Preferred / Assets

• Background as a tradesperson (carpentry, general construction, HVAC, or similar) transitioning into operations or coordination.
• Building science credential (e.g., BPI), or willingness to obtain.
