Job description

Renewable Energy Engineer (Entry-Level)

Location: Newark, NJ (hybrid)

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

Type: Full-time

About us

We are a clean energy company that develops, builds, owns and operates renewable projects across the United States. Our growing portfolio spans utility-scale solar, wind and battery energy storage (BESS), and as a long-term owner we stay with every project from the first feasibility study through years of operation. New Jersey is a leading state for solar and a gateway to the offshore wind build-out on the East Coast, and our Newark team is growing with it.

What you will do

You will support engineering across our project pipeline, learning from experienced engineers while taking on real responsibility from the start. Your work will include:

Supporting engineering design and technical reviews for solar, wind and BESS projects at every stage

Preparing energy production estimates, site evaluations and technical due diligence

Assisting with interconnection applications and coordination with utilities and PJM processes

Reviewing technical submittals from EPC contractors, consultants and equipment vendors

Supporting construction and commissioning, with travel to project sites across the Northeast

Analyzing performance data from our operating fleet and recommending improvements

Contributing to the tools, templates and standards our engineering team runs on

What we are looking for

A bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, civil or environmental engineering, or a related field

A demonstrated interest in renewable energy and the clean energy transition

Strong analytical ability and comfort working with data and spreadsheets

Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to make technical topics simple

Initiative and curiosity: you take ownership, ask good questions and learn quickly

Authorization to work in the United States

Internship, co-op or project experience in energy is a plus but not required. We hire for aptitude and attitude, and we invest in developing our engineers.

What we offer

$80,000 - $100,000 base salary, depending on experience

Hybrid working from our Newark office

A structured development path with mentorship from senior engineers

Hands-on exposure to the full project lifecycle across three technologies

Health, dental and vision coverage, 401(k) with company match, and generous PTO

Support for professional development, including PE licensure

The chance to grow with a company building and operating real clean energy assets
