Spark Northwest accelerates the shift to clean energy one community at a time. Our programs make affordable, locally-controlled clean energy more accessible for all.

Opportunities

Project Manager

Spark Northwest is seeking a dynamic Project Manager to join our team of local clean energy innovators. This person will lead our Access Solar program, which expands clean energy to groups that have been traditionally excluded from opportunities due to barriers related to policy, capacity and financing. This position is one-part community engagement, meeting Tribal entities and community-based organizations where they are to build capacity for clean energy planning and development. It is another part project management, providing step-by-step assistance to walk projects from design through funding and installation. This requires sensitivity and responsiveness to each group’s culture and workflow. We are especially seeking candidates with a mixture of these skills – community engagement and project management – and we do not require technical knowledge of clean energy. We have experts who will be standing ready to bring someone up to speed in that area.
