Application Deadline: 09/17/2023
The Schatz Energy Research Center at Cal Poly Humboldt is seeking an experienced professional to join our team as a Project Manager. This full-time position will provide project management for efforts within our microgrid and distributed energy portfolio.
Please see the full job posting from our website: http://schatzcenter.org/docs/SchatzCenter-projectmanager-summer23.pdf
The Project Manager will support projects within our growing portfolio of work related to clean energy microgrids and distributed energy. These key technologies are critical to enable a broad transition to renewable and clean energy systems. The successful applicant will help manage innovative projects that will help decarbonize the electricity grid and provide resiliency benefits to communities. We are selective with the projects we take on, focusing on those with potential for significant impact in accelerating progress towards the clean energy transition on a just and equitable pathway.
The person selected for this position will report directly to the Operations Director and be embedded with a team of engineers and researchers — including faculty, professional staff, and undergraduate and graduate students — who are committed to understanding, deploying, and improving these emerging technology systems. The successful applicant will be responsible for managing several projects in the research area simultaneously (depending on the size and scope of the projects). This position has the potential to develop into a program management role, involving strategic leadership within a research area and management of a portfolio of related projects.
We work in a hybrid environment that supports flexibility and connection. Our team members currently have the option to work onsite all the time, or alternate between working remotely and at least 25% onsite at the Schatz Center. During the initial onboarding period, the Project Manager could telecommute, but ultimately will need to live within commuting distance of the Schatz Center.
We welcome applications from everyone who is legally eligible to work in the United States. Please note that we operate under the California State University mandate which requires all students, staff, and faculty to be either (a) fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or (b) qualify for a medical or religious exemption.
Who we are and what we do Since 1989, the Schatz Center has been a leader in applied research and project development for clean and renewable energy. Our current portfolio includes microgrid development, sustainable transportation design, carbon life cycle analysis, solar product testing, offshore wind research, and planning and policy for clean energy access around the globe.
We are located on the campus of Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, California. Arcata’s 800-acre community forest and 11 miles of trails begin one block away — and we are within biking distance of California’s second largest inland bay and the Pacific Ocean.
As residents of a rural coastal community, we are keenly aware of our social and environmental responsibilities. We are committed to increasing energy access and resilience for communities worldwide — and to do so through clean and renewable design that reduces climate change and restores environmental and human health.
How to apply Please see the full job announcement for the core responsibilities and a list of required knowledge, skills, and abilities.
