Job opportunities with PHIUS, Chicago, Illinois

Posted by: Kalyani.rc // Passive House / Sustainability Enthusiast

It’s an exciting time at PHIUS! We’re seeing a rapid uptake of the PHIUS+ 2015 Passive Building standard, and growing participation in our professional and product certification programs as well. There’s been a terrific upsurge in project certifications across an increasingly broad array of locales and building typologies. More and more policymakers around the US (and beyond) are writing PHIUS+ 2015 into their programming. With all of this growth, we could use some help! As the leader in North American passive building development, PHIUS is creating and offering unrivaled opportunities in the field.
