Energy Program Associate

Are you a self-motivated, difference maker with a growth mindset? If you answered yes, then we're excited to hear from you.

We're looking for a detail-oriented Energy Program Associate to help us keep our incentive and grant programs running smoothly here at PEC (Pacific Energy Concepts), but before we dive into the nitty-gritty, we'd love to tell you a bit about us.

We've been around for over 17 years and are an innovative, growing company that's making a significant, industry-wide impact. Our core values,
Build to Last, Do the Right Thing, Play to Win, and Push the Envelope
, aren't the typical empty talking points you'll find floating around, they're fundamental to the people we are and the people we hire.

We're North America's most innovative energy optimization company. We deliver customized energy-efficiency solutions (like LED, advanced controls, Energy Monitoring, and EV Charging Stations) that go beyond energy savings, helping our partners "run efficient, save money, and work happy" all while reducing their carbon footprint.

With deep knowledge of the energy-efficiency industry, we are experts in designing, developing, and deploying targeted solutions in complex and specialized environments. This is why brands like Costco, IKEA, Jeld-Wen and Alaska Airlines (to name a few of the 5000+ companies we work with) put their trust in us.

The Energy Program Associate coordinates the full lifecycle of PEC's incentive, rebate, and grant programs, primarily supporting EVSE projects, from initial research through final payment. This role connects the Sales, Project Management, and Accounting teams with external utility and government programs, producing funding estimates, preparing applications, and tracking projects through to payment with a high degree of accuracy.

This position is based in-person in our Phoenix, AZ office.
