We are a small consulting firm based in Ohio looking for the right fit to grow our team. With a national environmental nonprofit and a labor union among our clients, this position will support leading-edge outreach across a five-state region but focusing on Kansas, bringing a labor voice to the community debates that often surround utility-scale renewable energy projects. One public face of this work is www.poweryourcommunity.org.

Seeking an aggressively curious individual to work collaboratively on a broad array of tasks including building and maintaining relationships, data analytics, strategic advising, education, and project consulting.

Must be passionate about renewable energy as a priority for America’s future. Must be passionate about labor unions’ role in improving a community.

The following skills and experience are relevant to the work; the successful candidate may be a generalist with a broad base in many of these, or may be more focused with specific skills in a few. 

• This job is people-centric. Must have an empathetic ability to communicate effectively with people, particularly those who think differently, and be motivated to learn in a field that is as much about interpersonal skills as it is technical expertise.
• Understand the political, economic, and regulatory mechanisms involved in utility-scale electricity generation and transmission.
• Understand local politics and power dynamics at the level of counties and townships.
• Understand the labor movement’s history and how unions work.
• Previous work in issues around labor, climate, or energy.
