Background: Since 2001, Northwest Sustainable Energy for Economic Development (Northwest SEED) has helped communities across the region implement community scale clean energy projects, including solar, wind and energy efficiency. Communities are motivated to pursue clean energy projects for many reasons, including energy security, job creation, economic development, and environmental preservation. However, they often lack the knowledge to identify, screen, and prioritize potential energy investments. Northwest SEED delivers the technical, business, and project management expertise to support communities in selecting, designing and implementing local energy projects. Northwest SEED is now seeking to ramp up our consulting services in communities and expand project implementation across the Northwest.

This position reports directly to the Executive Director.
