Our Values

Voraciously Curious

No playbook exists for the problems we are solving. Every day, we are required to find answers to questions we’ve never been asked before. To make meaningful progress, we are unapologetically driven by asking “why?” constantly seeking better solutions and are unfazed by tackling things that are only implausibly possible.

Purposely Scrappy

To be scrappy means to skip the formality, to have the resolve and resourcefulness to achieve results no matter what. From top to bottom, we take ownership of our work and our projects, while knowing that we have the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. We are resolute about efficiency to be good stewards of our capital.

Innate Stewardship

We know that our work and how we work impacts numerous things that are not ours – from the local communities we work in, to our colleagues’ well-being, to our children’s future in an age of climate change, to energy security in the markets in which we participate.

Linea Energy is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, veteran status, or disability status. Join us in our mission to drive the transition to a clean energy future and make a positive impact on the world.
