ABOUT THE COALITION​The Building Decarbonization Coalition (BDC) unites building industry stakeholders with energy providers, environmental justice organizations, clean energy advocates, unions and workforce stakeholders, and state and local governments to help electrify homes and businesses.Through coalition-building, consumer inspiration, and policy analysis, the BDC is pursuing fast, fair action to accelerate the adoption of heat pumps and other building electrification products and services, which will help states cut one of their largest sources of pollution while creating safe, healthy, and affordable communities.POSITION SUMMARY To the BDC, the transition to zero-emission homes and workplaces is an indispensable opportunity to bring a new generation of people into the skilled trades.

To reach that end state, policies and regulations must reflect the needs of workers—their cost and regulatory pressures, their need to provide value to their customers, and the desire for more young people to enter the trades.BDC is seeking a creative systems thinker, people-person, and subject matter expert in one or more building systems (e.g. HVAC, plumbing, or electrical) with a personal commitment to making sure that climate action leads to prosperity for American workers and their families.

Familiarity with utility business models or major electric grid or gas distribution system issues would be an asset.</li><li>Strong familiarity with the needs of people in the trades, gained through work experience in the trades–e.g., as an HVAC installer, electrician, or plumber–or in an adjacent industry.</li><li>Outstanding relationship management and coalition-building skills, including a genuine willingness to hear, consider, and account for divergent viewpoints.</li><li>Desire to work within a participatory organizational culture which insists on the value of each team member’s contribution without sacrificing decisiveness or agility.</li><li>Demonstrated success facilitating challenging discussions with and between diverging interests in pursuit of a high-stakes goal.</li><li>Comfort with ambiguity, as BDC is a growing organization which is building innovative new initiatives in a complicated issue area.</li></ul>WORK ENVIRONMENT, SCHEDULE, &amp; TRAVELThe Senior Manager, Workforce Development will work remotely from their home and can be based anywhere in the United States, though Eastern or Central time zones are preferred.
