The Colorado Energy Office leads and coordinates climate action for the State of Colorado. Since 2020, the Energy Office has seen significant growth in the number, size, and breadth of programs it operates to support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to benefit all Coloradans. This growth has been the result of nation-leading legislation in Colorado to create new policies and programs, as well as significant and historic investments at the Federal level through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
This position is a key ally for the leadership of the Energy Office and the teams working across the office on innovative programs to reduce emissions and serve the people of Colorado. The Operations team is a crucial resource for the program teams as they apply for, administer, and report on both federal and state funding and grants. The Operations team is seeking a detail-oriented team player who can support program managers and Directors throughout the Energy Office in their work, particularly with new federal grants from the IRA and IIJA.
The ideal candidate will enjoy spending time in a big spreadsheet, like budgets to reconcile down to the last penny, and look forward to being the trusted budget advisor for the talented and passionate team at the Energy Office. This role will work daily with staff running programs ranging from transportation electrification, to weatherization for low income Coloradans to carbon management and geothermal. Our office is in downtown Denver, but we offer a flexible workplace with work from home/work from office options, and the possibility of a permanently remote position anywhere in Colorado.

Full-time equivalent experience means that any experience where working hours were less than 40 hours per week will be prorated in order to meet the equivalency of full-time. We would calculate this by looking at the total hours worked per week, divide this by 40, and then multiply by the total number of months worked. Examples of the proration calculations are:
30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
Experience for both required and desired qualifications can be gained through various combinations of formal professional employment, education, and volunteer experience. See below for how you may qualify. A total of seven years of education and/or experience:
