How to Apply for Market Engagement Consultant

at Resource Innovations

🏢 About Resource Innovations

Resource Innovations stands out by focusing specifically on making sustainable energy and water solutions accessible to communities, not just implementing technical projects. They empower communities through practical programs rather than just consulting, creating tangible impact. Working here means contributing directly to environmental sustainability while engaging diverse stakeholders in meaningful change.

About This Role

As a Market Engagement Consultant, you'll be the bridge between Resource Innovations' sustainable energy programs and the vendors/contractors who implement them. This role involves building trust-based relationships with trade allies while ensuring they understand program requirements and incentives. Your work directly increases participation in energy efficiency programs, translating company goals into real-world community impact.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve coordinating with utility partners on program requirements, conducting a virtual training session for new contractors on incentive structures, and following up with vendors to advance specific energy efficiency projects. You'll balance relationship maintenance with ensuring projects move from opportunity identification through completion, often through proactive communication and problem-solving.
