About Clir Renewables

Clir Renewables is on a mission to reduce humankind’s impact on the planet by accelerating the transition to renewable energy. Our AI improves the economics of wind, solar, and energy storage projects and empowers asset owners, investors, and operators to maximize financial returns and reduce risk.

Clir’s renewable energy intelligence platform combines advanced artificial intelligence built with deep industry expertise and 300 GWs of operational wind, solar, and battery energy storage assets worldwide. By transforming complex operational data into actionable insight, Clir AI helps customers benchmark performance, assess risk, optimize assets, and make better commercial and technical decisions across their portfolios.

Founded in 2017, Clir has been named one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies by the Globe and Mail’s Report on Business. Headquartered in Vancouver, with hubs in Glasgow and Calgary, Clir supports customers across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia, enabling multi‑million‑dollar gains through improved asset performance.

We are guided by our core values of Communication, Sustainability, Inclusion, Impact, and Innovation, and we are passionate, curious, and determined to deliver real climate impact.

About the role

This is a prototyping and validation role sitting at the intersection of analytics and software development.

You’ll work directly with Clir's engineering and analytics teams to build, test, and iterate on analytical methods and tooling before they reach production. Think of yourself as the first line of rigor: you take an idea from a senior analyst or developer, implement it, stress‑test it against real data, and help determine whether it's ready to scale.

You won’t just run analyses, you’ll build the code that runs them. And you won’t just write code, you’ll understand what it’s supposed to prove about a wind farm or solar asset.

This role is ideal for a co‑op student, recent graduate, or early‑career professional who is equally comfortable with a Python script and a performance curve.

Who You Are

• Passionate about our core values: communication, sustainability, inclusion, impact, and innovation
• Passionate about renewable energy and eager to help drive operational efficiency and cost reduction
• Motivated by a customer‑centric approach and focused on creating value
• Adaptable and skilled at managing multiple competing priorities, approaching challenges with curiosity

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prototype analytical tools and methods developed by the engineering and analytics teams, prior to production deployment
• Implement automation scripts and workflows that support renewable energy analysts in their day‑to‑day work
• Test analytical outputs against real asset data, validate logic, flag anomalies, document findings
• Collaborate with senior developers and analysts to iterate quickly on prototypes based on feedback
• Contribute to internal technical documentation for prototyped tools and methods
• Participate in sprint planning and scoping to understand priorities and timelines
• Surface practical observations from prototyping work that improve the final product

What You’ll Need

• Hands‑on experience in at least one programming language, Python strongly preferred
• An analytical mindset, comfortable working with messy data and finding what matters
• Genuine curiosity about how things work, and why they sometimes don’t
• Clear written and verbal communication in English, you’ll need to explain what you built and what you found
• Comfort operating with some ambiguity in a fast‑paced environment

Bonus

• Exposure to renewable energy (wind or solar) even academic or personal interest counts
• Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g. Matplotlib, Plotly, Tableau, or similar)
• Experience with version control (Git) and agile workflows
• Knowledge of SQL, APIs, or workflow tools (e.g. Airflow)
• Experience with Go, gRPC, or cloud‑based data platforms
• Additional language skills, we’re a global team

What’s In It For You

• Opportunity to work in an inclusive and diverse workplace
• Be part of a team committed to reducing environmental impact and advancing renewable energy
• Support for your professional growth and development
• Flexible work schedule to help you maintain work‑life balance

At Clir Renewables, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to who we are. We are committed to building a team that reflects the communities and customers we serve, and we strongly encourage applicants of all genders, ages, ethnicities, cultures, abilities, sexual orientations, and life experiences to apply.

Successful candidates may be required to complete a background check and must provide proof of their legal authorization to work in the location where the role is performed.
