Company Background:

The Green Roundtable's mission is to mainstream green development and
ultimately become obsolete. GRT's market transformation strategy relies
on innovative programs in education, policy and technical assistance.
These programs help owners and developers understand and communicate
their goals, build capacity in design professionals to meet green
building expectations, empower consumers to ask critical questions and
advise policy initiatives to require green development so that
eventually, it becomes business as usual. GRT is the Massachusetts
Affiliate of the US Green Building Council.
 
GRT's technical assistance uses an integrative design process to bring
greater clarity and collaboration to decision-making and raise the bar
on performance and health achievements. One of GRT's greatest tools is
NEXUS: The Green Building Resource, which provides the community with
access to resources and information to educate themselves and broaden
their mindsets. Technical assistance staff serve both projects as well
as resources offered through NEXUS.

GRT consulting projects range from master planning to existing
building/facility asset management and individual building projects of
every type and scale. Interested candidates will also have opportunities
to provide training, develop new educational and analytical tools, and
participate in public policy work in local governments and institutions.
This opportunity is uniquely satisfying for individuals who like to be
active in a variety of different kinds of work and use technical
expertise to truly participate in market transformation through policy
and education as well as consulting.
 
GRT currently has three positions open in its technical assistance team,
a Director of Technology and Innovation, Project Manager and Project
Assistant.
