For over 16 years, BCAP has worked in the U.S. advocating for strong energy codes on behalf of the Department of Energy. We work with state energy offices, state and local agencies, building departments, and those in the construction industry. We also work to inform federal policy makers, national organizations, and consumers on the opportunities and benefits associated with the energy code as the baseline-setting policy for the construction market.

The Associate will work within the Advocacy Team to strategically track state and local policy developments related to building energy codes through research and established networks. The successful candidate will produce written materials that present code and building-related information in formats appropriate for a variety of audiences and for use in various outreach mechanisms (e.g., website, social media, conference presentations, newsletters, workshops). Additional work will include online media updates and design (website, Facebook, Twitter).

The successful candidate will be self-motivated and able to work independently as well as with a team. This position provides career advancement opportunities. Travel within the U.S. may be required. Experience with data collection and analysis, as well as website maintenance is a plus.
The specific tasks of the Program Associate will include, but are not be limited to, the following:

Develop high-quality resources (presentations, written materials, information for various media and the Internet) to communicate the BCAP message on energy efficient buildings to government officials, builders, code officials, industry, public interest groups and others.
Requirements

The successful candidate must have, at minimum, a bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., energy management, architecture, engineering, or public policy); two years of professional experience is preferred.
Experience in one or more key areas such as: energy efficiency, buildings, energy codes, policy, legislative affairs, and grass-roots campaigns.
