STEMtember Series: Careers in Clean Energy – Renewable Energy

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is looking for enthusiastic, driven professionals to join our team and be Clean Energy Champions. We are seeking talented individuals with diverse perspectives and skills to help tackle the climate crisis. 

EERE leads research, development, demonstration, and deployment of innovations in renewable power, sustainable transportation, and energy-efficient technologies that will equitably accelerate the national transition to a clean energy economy. We are working to ensure clean energy investments, new jobs, and energy justice benefit all Americans.

You do not need to be a clean energy expert to have a clean energy career. Some EERE positions are scientific or technical, and others support business operations, human resources, strategic analysis, communications, and more.

There are just over 8 million jobs in energy. For two consecutive years, energy job growth has outpaced overall U.S. employment. Find out who is getting hired—and more.
