greenhouse gas market research sales spreadsheets renewable energyGeoSource contributes to the fight against climate change by providing renewable and sustainable heating and cooling to buildings through ground-source geothermal systems. Therefore, in order to continue reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector, GeoSource needs to keep growing its client base.
To do this, we're looking for a virtual intern who can carry out market research on Ontario's building sector, identify key decision makers for upcoming projects, and acquire their contact information via publicly available databases. This will provide our sales team with critical information required to start initiating conversations with decision makers and educating them about our geothermal systems.
Tasks for this project may include (but are not limited to):
- Mining Ontario building project data from websites such as GTA Homes, Urban Toronto, municipal databases and construction tender sites;
- Identifying developers and their key contacts working on these projects; and
- Recording relevant data into spreadsheets provided by GeoSource.
As this is intended to be a virtual internship, we can offer access to select members of our sales and development team through email, phone and video calls on weekdays from 9am to 5pm. We plan to engage in a kick off meeting with our student(s) to get them acquainted with our team, the project and to allow them to ask questions as needed.
