Solar Data Intern - Remote, US
Energy SolutionsAbout the role
Interested in joining a growing company where you will work with talented colleagues, enhance a supportive and energetic culture, and be part of the climate solution? At Energy Solutions, we focus on the big impacts. And we believe that market-based programs can be a powerful force to deliver large-scale energy, carbon, and water-use savings. Since 1995, we’ve harnessed that power to offer proven, performance-based solutions for our utility, government, and institutional customers.
Are you data-driven, technically minded, and eager to improve one of the biggest affordable solar programs in the United States? Then join our team as a Solar Data Intern! Your efforts will directly contribute to the launch of a high-profile program with state-wide impacts.
Energy Solutions has recently won work which requires mapping new program data into our current portal. Success means translating large datasets from one system to another—and maintaining data integrity. That’s where you come in!
In this part-time (15-30 hours/week, ideally between Monday and Thursday) role, you’ll organize, clean, and validate essential datasets to ensure they map successfully from their former system into ours. In doing so, you’ll identify trends, investigate discrepancies, and propose deliverables by cross-collaborating with a variety of teams within Energy Solution’s largest program. Such teams could include Renewable Energy Credit (REC) Contracts, Application Processing, Consumer Protection, Strategy & Outreach, and Information Security (IS). You'll also share your progress with high-level staff within Energy Solutions, including Team Leads. With all these moving pieces, your ability to identify and prioritize competing needs will be key!
