Analyst (Energy Services)

VEIC is a sustainable energy company on a mission to generate the energy solutions the world needs. For more than 30 years, VEIC has worked with governments, utilities, foundations, and businesses across North America to design and deploy clean-energy services spanning energy efficiency, building decarbonization, transportation electrification, and a clean and flexible grid.

VEIC administers three large-scale energy efficiency and decarbonization programs and provides full-service consulting and engineering services. VEIC is nationally recognized for originating pilots and programs that optimize energy use, reduce energy burdens for low-income customers, and advance emerging technologies and innovative program models.

The Analyst performs research, analysis, and technically oriented project coordination to contribute to the successful execution of consulting and engineering projects delivering energy solutions to clients across the country. This position will support VEIC’s work on the California Statewide Emerging Electric Technologies program (CalNEXT) and our work on Wisconsin’s statewide energy efficiency program, Focus on Energy. Both programs are unique in their needs, but both offer an opportunity to learn and experience what cutting edge technologies and programs will make the next big impact in our industry.

As a key member of the team the analyst will contribute to report writing, compilation of program data, and support presentation development, project scoring, and program record management. This position may also manage small to medium-sized research and pilot projects on behalf of our clients. This position is an exciting opportunity to work on two highly visible projects with the potential to make big impacts. The role may support other VEIC initiatives as needed.

This role enjoys engaging work within a non-profit, forward-thinking, energy consulting business and is available to work completely remotely (depending on needs/location) or hybrid with VEIC having physical offices in Winooski, Vermont, D.C., with a potential satellite space in Madison, Wisconsin.

We are committed to building a work community that is inclusive and represents a vibrant diversity of background, experience, perspective, and thought. Climate change impacts all of us; however, we are impacted differently based on our identities and experiences. We all deserve a place at the table to make decisions about our collective future – we hope you’ll consider joining us as we work towards our vision for a healthy planet, thriving people, and energy justice.
