Position: Junior Building Condition Assessor
About the Opportunity
This is a fixed-term, project-based opportunity with field work required throughout various locations
in and around La Ronge, Saskatchewan over the period of September to December . Reporting
to the Project Lead, the Junior Building Condition Assessor will support comprehensive condition
assessments on a variety of residential property types for the purpose of assessing building
component conditions and lifespan status. This role will work alongside a lead assessor on-site, and
remotely with a larger office-based team.
Using a customized data collection tool, you will support building condition assessments according
to Community Power’s standards. Building condition results will be used by the customer to inform
decisions about future capital planning on a larger scale across many homes.
The successful applicant for this role will be comfortable dealing with regularly changing schedules
and field conditions. You work effectively in small, collaborative teams and can drive work forward
autonomously when needed. You are approachable, friendly, and able to communicate to home
occupants without judgement. Cultural sensitivity and respect when working in Indigenous
communities is essential to success in this role.
This position is based remotely and requires extensive travel and field work throughout rural and
remote Saskatchewan. The successful applicant must have a flexible schedule which allows them to
be away from home for periods of 5–12 consecutive days, if not local to the area.

• Assist the lead assessor in reviewing standard housing components such as foundations,
windows and doors, roofs, attics, plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems, wall
assemblies, and renewable energy systems.
Using mobile software, record assessment findings including the quantity, types, and
estimated remaining lifespan of applicable housing components, as directed by the lead
assessor.
• Discuss housing concerns and energy-use issues with home occupants that may not be
identified through a visual assessment.
• Assist with inspection setup, organizing field notes, photos, testing results, and other
assessment information required for reporting.
• Collaborate with Community Power’s team of housing specialists to ensure processes
continuously meet key project requirements and outcomes.
• Support in the analysis of aggregate assessment results to identify common issues, trends,
and valuable insights for the customer.
• Use a variety of software to support data collection, assessment reporting, internal expense
submissions, time tracking, and other tasks.
Qualifications
• Some experience or education related to housing, construction, building maintenance,
environmental testing, energy efficiency, or a related field would be an asset.
• Basic understanding of residential building components and building science principles
would be an asset.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and the ability to quickly learn new
software is required for this role.
• Experience in working with Indigenous and/or remote communities would be an asset.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and ability to follow established procedures is
required.
