Clean Energy Project Associate (Locations: Atlanta, Ithaca, San Jose, Oakland, Menlo Park, Denver)

BlocPower is a clean energy leader creating smarter, greener, healthier buildings for all by reducing the barriers to money-saving, quality-of-life-improving green building upgrade. We provide engineering, financing and project implementation services for our clients, with a special focus in historically left out communities across the country.

Through our work, we save our clients money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve health and create local employment opportunities.
