Internship Opportunity: Energy Markets Intern

About Voltus

Voltus represents the "potential of us" to better manage energy through simple, cost-free energy management products. Our commercial and industrial customers generate cash by allowing us to be their energy expert while we deliver innovative demand response, energy purchasing, and energy efficiency programs to them. We hire teammates who are bright, gritty, and good and who have a genuine passion for delivering a cleaner energy future and for working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Role Overview

Voltus is hiring a whip-smart, entrepreneurial, proud energy nerd with an unparalleled desire to learn about energy markets and demand side management. The intern will be working with the energy markets teams, who are responsible for helping our customers profit from their involvement in these energy markets. If you are bright, gritty, good, and intellectually curious, and if your brain marries creativity and engineering diligence, you’re a great fit. We will work with you to help grow your knowledge base of the energy industry, while improving on your process improvement, operational, and analytical skillset.

Key Requirements

  • Desire to become an expert in understanding the role of demand-side resources in energy markets
  • Support the identification and evaluation of market opportunities by conducting regulatory and market research, tackling open-ended questions, and summarizing findings succinctly

  • A knack for analyzing large datasets in Excel and utilizing a business analysis skillset to turn findings in tangible action
