Jetson Home•North Vancouver, BC

3h•$125,000 - $140,000•Onsite

About The Position

Jetson is on a mission to accelerate the transition of 100 million homes across North America away from fossil fuels toward sustainable energy use. We believe in a future that is 100% electric and 100% better. Homes are one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, yet adoption of solutions like heat pumps remains slow due to cost and complexity. Jetson is solving this by building the first fully vertically integrated home electrification company — making clean energy simple, transparent, and affordable. We rely heavily on technology, automation, and data to scale this impact. At Jetson, we value people who are excellent at their craft, curious about new tools (including AI), and motivated to continuously improve how work gets done. The Opportunity: We're looking for a sharp, execution-oriented Facilities Manager to own Jetson's physical footprint from coast to coast. This is a newly created role built for someone who thrives in fast-scaling environments — someone who can stand up a new market location in weeks, build vendor relationships that actually hold, and keep our existing facilities running cleanly and cost-effectively. You'll work directly with the CFO and across Finance, Operations, and Field teams to ensure Jetson's facilities infrastructure is always one step ahead of our growth.
