Energy-Efficiency

Location: Oakland, CA (Remote)
Interested in joining a growing company where you will work with talented colleagues, enhance a supportive and energetic culture, and be part of the climate solution? At Energy Solutions, we focus on the big impacts. And we believe that market-based programs can be a powerful force to deliver large-scale energy, carbon, and water-use savings. Since 1995, we’ve harnessed that power to offer proven, performance-based solutions for our utility, government, and institutional customers.

Are you ready for a hands-on learning experience? With a variety of projects and tasks to balance, plus a portion of your week dedicated to collaborating with the Policy & Ratings team, you will gain direct experience much like that of a department Associate. Your time with us will be varied: you will work along side other members of the team to gain experience on the building codes and appliance standards processes essential to P&R’s day-to-day work, use and expand existing tools to better understand the state standards compliance rates of appliances for sale in the state of New York, and have your own research project.

Your research project will be an opportunity for you to analyze the skills of the staff within the department using a survey and methodology you design yourself. We are looking for new ways to streamline our processes, improve communication, and break down silos of information with other departments and Energy Solutions as a whole. Your input and fresh outlook will be essential to improving our processes.

To apply, please upload your resume, cover letter, and a work sample. In your cover letter, include your available start date and why you are interested in this opportunity.

The variety of this role sets you up for a fulfilling experience. Project opportunities include:

Develop tangible skills: Gain research experience and insight into compliance with New York State appliance and building energy technologies, policy, and codes and standards
Build your own project: Explore ongoing analysis with the data team to develop a skill catalogue survey, then meaningfully organize and present your results
Meet a variety of industry professionals and deepen your professional network: Work cross-functionally with key team members to develop resources and implement process improvements

To enable you for success, we are seeking candidates with these qualifications:

Interest in Federal and State Environmental and Energy Efficiency related regulations
Interest in buildings and building codes, including appliance testing and rating
Highly organized and proactive approach, whether working independently or with a team

Compensation:

Undergraduate student: $20/hr
Graduate student: $23/hr
