🏢 About US-EcoLogic
US-EcoLogic is a niche consultancy dedicated to streamlining the green certification process for energy-efficient developments. Working here means joining a mission-driven team that directly impacts sustainability in construction, with opportunities to earn multiple green building credentials.
About This Role
As an MF Field Partner, you'll be the boots-on-the-ground ensuring multifamily projects meet green standards through on-site inspections, scheduling, and documentation.
