Job description

Location: Princeton, NJ (hybrid)

Salary: $80,000 - $100,000, depending on experience

Type: Full-time | Two-year rotational program

About us

We develop, build, own and operate renewable energy projects across the United States, with a portfolio covering utility-scale solar, wind and battery energy storage (BESS). New Jersey combines one of the nation's strongest solar markets with a front-row position in the East Coast offshore wind build-out, and our Princeton office supports projects across the region. This program develops the people we expect to help lead that growth.

The program

This is a two-year, full-time rotational position for early-career professionals who want to see the whole clean energy business before choosing a specialty. You will complete three eight-month rotations across our core functions, matched to your interests and strengths:

• Development: siting, permitting, interconnection and the commercial groundwork that takes a project from map to shovel-ready
• Engineering & Construction: technical design, contractor coordination and delivering projects in the field
• Finance & Asset Management: investment analysis, project finance and the commercial performance of our operating fleet
• You will finish the program with a permanent placement on the team where you have found the strongest fit, carrying a network and a company-wide understanding that most professionals take years to build.

What you will do

• Join each team as a full contributor, with real deliverables and ownership from your first week
• Support live projects through analysis, modeling, applications, technical reviews and site visits
• Present your work to senior leadership at the end of each rotation
• Learn directly from experienced developers, engineers and financiers, with a dedicated mentor throughout
• Build the cross-functional fluency that accelerates careers in this industry

What we are looking for

• A bachelor's degree in engineering, environmental science, economics, finance, business or a related field
• A demonstrated interest in clean energy and the transition to a decarbonized grid
• Strong analytical skills and comfort with data, spreadsheets and learning new tools
• Clear communication and the confidence to work across every part of a business
• Adaptability: three rotations mean three new teams, new problems and steep learning curves
• Authorization to work in the United States
• No prior energy experience is required. Internships, research or campus involvement that show initiative are a plus. We hire for aptitude and attitude.

What we offer

• $80,000 - $100,000 base salary, depending on experience
• Hybrid working from our Princeton office
• A structured two-year program with a dedicated mentor and executive visibility
• Guaranteed permanent placement on successful completion
• Health, dental and vision coverage, 401(k) with company match, and generous PTO
• Relocation support for candidates moving to New Jersey
• A front-row seat to the clean energy build-out of the Northeast

• We are an equal opportunity employer.
