Do you want to make a real impact with your career? The energy industry is growing and changing fast.
For decades, change in the energy field was gradual and steady. Today, new technologies and evolving customer needs are transforming how we produce, deliver and use energy. Innovations like grid modernization, electrification, AI-driven demands and renewable energy growth have created increased needs for communities and opportunities for job searchers.
What’s changing in energy?
The ways we generate and store energy have evolved in recent years. In the past, energy generation was much more reliant on fossil fuels, particularly coal. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar have helped us create a more reliable and resilient generation portfolio. We also invest in battery storage to preserve energy we generate for later use.
How we use energy is changing too. Demand continues to grow as families rely on connected devices in their homes, electric cars are more common, and people and businesses use new technology like artificial intelligence in everyday life.
These changes are transforming how we operate. How we work and the roles we hire are evolving so we can meet demand now and be ready for the future.
What kinds of energy jobs are in demand now?
There are many roles in the field. In all of them, it’s important to be open to new technologies and ideas. The energy field needs open-minded problem solvers with an interest in building a brighter, more resilient energy future.
Here are a few of the roles for which we’re hiring across our teams.
