About The Position

Energy Infrastructure Partners LLC (EIP) is seeking a Medford-based Distributor Outreach Representative to support a midstream energy efficiency program for Energy Trust of Oregon.

Regular field travel is required, and the position is hybrid, generally requiring four days per week in the office when not traveling.

EIP is a minority-owned energy efficiency, electrification, decarbonization, and demand-side management company. Its work advances sustainable energy solutions, supports economic development, and prioritizes benefits for disadvantaged communities.
