Job Description:

WORKING AT THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

At the Oregon Department of Energy, we're helping shape the state's energy future. Our team is dedicated to keeping Oregon on the leading edge of renewable energy and efficiency while supporting energy innovation, investment, equity, and resilience. From helping Oregonians save energy at home to overseeing the state's interests in the world's largest environmental cleanup at the Hanford nuclear site in Washington, our work is challenging, rewarding, and diverse. We work with developers and communities on proposed energy facilities, with schools and manufacturers looking to save energy and money, and with other agencies and stakeholders on meeting the challenges of climate change. Oregon is one of the most energy-efficient states in the country, routinely landing near the top of annual national rankings. ODOE is committed to helping Oregon remain an energy leader, and that starts with hiring engaged team members ready to deliver for all Oregonians.

The Energy Development Services Division administers programs that provide financing and incentives to homeowners, renters, businesses, organizations, nonprofits, Tribes, schools, consumer-owned utilities, and public bodies installing projects that increase energy efficiency, generate renewable energy, encourage community resilience, or support the alternative fuels market.

We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for our positions and hope you will join us on our path to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are an agency that embraces social equity through our values, strategic planning, and actions. Leaning into our equity priorities means we continually examine what we do, the impact we have, and our progress toward weaving social equity into who we are.

You will support the agency’s Heat Pump Purchase Program (HP3) and other federally or legislatively mandated Energy Development Services (EDS) programs by providing advanced program coordination, data oversight, and stakeholder engagement.
