This position is an excellent opportunity to commence a career in the Renewable Energy industry but is also an opportunity for career change (e.g., moving from a Legal or Engineering background into a Business Development role, or from Real Estate into Renewable Energy).

• Minimum of six months of prior work experience in a Business Development, Sales, Public Policy, Legal, or Solar Engineering function (for new graduates, previous summer positions can meet this requirement). Solar experience is valuable, but no solar experience is required for this position.
• Willingness to travel for in-person meetings necessary to fulfill work responsibilities.
• An unexpired and valid US driver’s license is required.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
