About Us:
ID360 is a rapidly growing resilience and energy consulting firm committed to advancing smart building practices and energy efficiency. As part of our mission, we are seeking one or more experienced Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) Trainers for Municipal Facilities Staff on a contract basis position. This role will focus on training professionals on the maintenance and operations of heat pump equipment for public buildings.
Contract Opportunity:
We are seeking one or more experienced Heat Pump Water Heater to design and deliver hands-on, practical training for municipal facilities staff across the Bay Area. This is a contract-based engagement ideal for a seasoned Heat Pump Water Heater professional who is knowledgeable about heat pump technology and is comfortable training others virtually and in-person.
Facilities teams need practical, real-world knowledge to confidently operate and maintain modern heat pump systems and you’ll play a training role in building that capacity.
Role Details:
Location: Primarily virtual role with a limited in-person training delivery in the Bay Area
Compensation: Competitive hourly
Requirements
Key Responsibilities:You will develop and facilitate training sessions focused on the operation and maintenance (O&M) of Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) systems installed in municipal facilities. Specific responsibilities include:
Designing curriculum tailored to the needs of facilities staff working in public buildings such as libraries, community centers, office buildings, and public safety facilities
Delivering engaging training sessions that build real operational confidence—not just theoretical knowledge
Covering topics such as day-to-day operations, preventative maintenance, controls integration, load management, and key differences from conventional gas-based systems
Adapting content to the specific equipment and systems participants work with
Supporting participants in troubleshooting common issues and understanding when to escalate
Qualifications:We are looking for trainers who bring a combination of technical expertise and the ability to translate that knowledge into clear, accessible instruction. Qualified candidates will demonstrate strength in the following areas:
Experience with Municipal & Public Sector Facilities - Direct experience working in or with government-owned buildings is a significant asset. Ideal candidates have:
Performed work in municipal facilities such as office buildings, libraries, recreation centers, fire stations, or other public buildings
Collaborated with local government agencies, cities, counties, school districts, or special districts (e.g., water, wastewater, or transit agencies)
Experience specifically with Bay Area jurisdictions is highly valued, though not required
Training & Communication Skills- Comfortable designing instructional content and leading sessions for working professionals, including:
Developing training materials (slide decks, job aids, hands-on exercises) that translate complex technical content into clear, actionable guidance
Facilitating group training sessions in a way that engages participants and invites questions
Beyond equipment familiarity, strong candidates will demonstrate a solid understanding of how heat pump water heating systems differ from conventional gas or electric resistance systems, including:
Load shifting and demand management strategies
System sizing and performance considerations (e.g., climate, usage patterns)
Controls integration and commissioning best practices
Maintenance requirements and common troubleshooting scenarios
Energy efficiency and decarbonization benefits
We are especially interested in candidates who can draw from real-world field experience and translate that into engaging, practical training whether through workshops, demonstrations, or instructional materials for contractors, facility staff, or building professionals.
