Experience with renewable energy projects, including negotiation of power purchase agreements and credit agreements, is desirable.

Land use and zoning experience is a plus.

The successful candidate will be a team-oriented, highly motivated individual with a strong academic record who likes working in a team environment, taking initiative and has excellent research, written and verbal communication skills.
