We are looking for a Carbon Consultant within our consulting team. This individual will work within our Life-Cycle Analysis Team and Asset Development Team on helping clients to assess and implement renewable energy and low carbon projects. Our clients depend on revenue streams from the sale of emission reduction credits – the majority of which are RINs under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) or credits under California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS).
