It’s time. Technology, economic, policy and climate drivers are converging to drive a rapidly expanding renewable energy landscape, and Sustainable Energy Advantage (SEA) is right in the middle of it. In our realm, new opportunities are popping up almost daily. Our widely respected and growing renewable energy consulting / advisory firm provides our exceptionally broad and varied client base with expertise, analysis, insights, and tools to succeed.
If you crave variety, possess a well-rounded skill set, analytical mind, and want to do something you can be passionate about, keep reading. Join a tight-knit and motivated team of about 20 professionals in a collegial environment that thrives on passion with a shared sense of purpose (and humor).
Be widely respected and never bored.
OPPORTUNITY: We are seeking an enthusiastic, dedicated, and organized Research Associate intern capable of contributing to a thriving consulting practice in supporting the needs of a diverse set of clients and tasks. In this position, you will perform research as well as quantitative market, financial, and economic analysis pertaining to the renewable energy industry. This position represents an opportunity to gain exposure to, and experience with, a wide range of topics and stakeholders active in the renewable energy industry.
As an SEA intern, you won’t be stuck with the same typical intern drudgery, day after day. You’ll participate in (or even host!) Brown Bag Breakfasts, our own version of Lunch & Learns; you’ll work on a wide variety of projects and tasks, together with Senior staff; and your work will get into the hands of our subscribers and clients. At SEA, we take time to make sure you are comfortable but also given space to breathe, understand, and adapt. You’ll have a Mentor and a Supervisor, Senior staff that is invested in you and your career – even if you’re only with us for a short while.
And you never know – you might just like us enough you’ll want to stay, something that one-third of our current staff have done!
RESPONSIBILITIES: Above all, the qualified candidate will be motivated and able to undertake a range of responsibilities that may include, but will not be limited to:
- Monitoring and summarizing current renewable energy regulatory, legislative and policy developments;
- Performing detailed research and analysis (qualitative and quantitative) on various renewable energy-related policy and business activities, including supply and demand within New England’s REC markets at present and using future projections;
- Supporting the development of new SEA products and services.
