Why You Should Join the E3 Team

When you join the E3 team, you will be working on some of the most important energy issues with some of the top minds in the industry. We help shape energy and climate policy, play vital roles in regulatory proceedings, advise executives, and inform investment and planning selections. At E3, you will be challenged and inspired.

Who We Are

Founded in 1989, Energy + Environmental Economics (E3) is a growing energy consulting firm that helps utilities, regulators, policy makers, developers, and investors make the most educated strategic decisions possible as they implement new public policies, deploy and develop new technologies, and address customers’ shifting expectations. We have offices in San Francisco, New York City, Boston, Denver, and Calgary.  

Because E3 works with customers from all sectors of the electricity industry, we provide a 360-degree knowledge of markets, planning, policy, regulation, and environmental factors. Just as important, we are driven to deliver clear, unbiased evaluations that help customers make informed decisions. 

E3 works on high-profile, high-impact projects in jurisdictions that spearhead the implementation of clean energy policy. In California, Hawai’i, and New York, we are advising state agencies and regulators about how to implement clean energy policies with an emphasis on customer incentives and markets.

About You

Our Proposal Coordinator is an organized, proactive person excited to help make E3’s proposals even stronger. E3 submits hundreds of proposals a year in response to RFPs issued by utilities, state agencies, and a variety of other types of clients; these proposals are often complex and require a small team to coordinate many moving pieces. We are seeking a smart candidate who brings curiosity, loves to think about process, finds satisfaction in completing administrative responsibilities, thrives in an environment with diverse responsibilities, works well on a deadline, and takes initiative to assist the team. 

The Work

The Proposal Coordinator is a key part of E3’s proposal team, helping to ensure our submissions are polished, complete, and professional. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys organizing, editing, and keeping complex projects running smoothly. Much of the work involves managing details, keeping proposal materials organized and current to help E3 win projects that shape the future of clean energy. You’ll work closely with our small but mighty proposal and marketing team in collaboration with our technical consultants in a mission-driven environment, gaining insight into some of the most interesting clean energy projects in North America.
