INTERESTED IN WORKING AT WEI?
We're based in the town of Portland--think hops and malt, coffee beans, pedalpalooza, and the most ironic mustaches you can imagine. In other words, a superb place to live. In fact, for the last eight years, we've been named one of the 100 best nonprofits to work for in Oregon by Oregon Business.
Our work is all about collaboration and communication, and we try to apply that ethos to our culture as well. We love getting people together, whether it's for an impromptu happy hour in the office or a summer bash.
We're always interested in meeting someone who's up on the latest issues affecting natural gas and electric utility industries, and someone who can take that knowledge and approach situations with an innovative mindset. Still interested? Send us your resume and story at apply@westernenergy.org, and we'll reach out when an opportunity comes up where we might be a match.
