Overview

Confidential Client is hiring for a Clean Energy Rotation Program based in San Diego, CA (hybrid). This is a two-year, full-time rotational program for early-career professionals who want broad exposure across development, engineering & construction, and finance & asset management in the renewable energy industry.

The Program

The Rotation Program is a structured, two-year experience made up of three eight-month rotations across core teams, tailored to your interests and strengths:

• Development: site identification, permitting, interconnection and the commercial work that turns an idea into a buildable project
• Engineering & Construction: technical design, contractor management and delivery of projects on the ground
• Finance & Asset Management: project finance, investment analysis and the commercial performance of an operating fleet

You will complete the program with a permanent placement on the team that best matches your skills and interests, and you’ll leave with cross-functional experience and a company-wide network.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute as a full team member in each rotation, with real deliverables and ownership from week one
• Support live projects with analyses, financial and technical models, permitting and interconnection applications, technical reviews and site visits
• Present your rotation deliverables to senior leaders
• Learn from experienced developers, engineers and financiers with a dedicated mentor throughout the program
• Build cross-functional fluency that accelerates career growth in clean energy

• Demonstrated interest in clean energy and the transition to a decarbonized grid

• Clear communication skills and confidence working across teams and functions
• Adaptability and a learning mindset — rotations require frequent change and rapid ramp-up
