Degrees that are not listed above but which you are passionate about
How is Performance on the Program Evaluated
Performance will be evaluated at two levels. Each hosting manager will evaluate candidates twice during the rotation: at the mid-point and upon completion. Upon completion of the two-year program, candidates will coordinate with hosting managers to transition to a full-time challenging position consistent with career interests and the needs of the company.
The Development Group is Comprised of the Following Groups:
Origination – work with the team to craft proposals to sell the power from our solar, wind and storage assets to utilities, banks and increasing the large corporate buyers (like Microsoft and Facebook)
Development – developers are the quarterbacks of the overall multi-year process, closely working with each individual team to craft a product that can be economically built
Land Acquisition – The land team is the first in the field. This team helps to build the underlying project position working regularly with the local owners to find the perfect spot and get the necessary permissions
Real Estate – What the land acquisition team buys or leases, the real estate team makes perfect. Did grandpa really have the right to give that land parcel to his best friend? As we build the projects, it’s the real estate team that is most likely to detect any differences between where we said we were digging a hole or building a road and where we did it
Permitting – many authorities must agree to our renewable projects (cities and states, protectors of the local flora and fauna, owners of the electric grid, the FAA and sometimes the Navajo nation). This group coordinates the interaction and permitting process with them all
Interconnection – projects are cool to visit but the secret sauce is in connecting them to the almost impossible to comprehend electrical grid. This group accomplishes that goal filing new queue positions, managing the integration of our power to the grid and ultimately helping us to understand how we can do the same better and faster on the next project
Strategic Development – this group crafts the company’s long-term strategy selecting the states and regions that we want to enter 3 – 5 years before the origination team sells the power. Heavier on research and strategy and less project specific than some other groups
Trading, Markets and Pricing – This group is the analytical core of the dev team providing a wide suite of services ranging from creation of the underlying financial models, assessment of the quantifiable risks in our contracts and in the long-term managing the revenue of our market based trades.

About the Salmon-Challis National Forest Covering over 4.3 million acres of east-central Idaho, individuals have the opportunity to enjoy the natural landscapes of the Continental Divide, the vast, 1.3 million acres of the Frank Church-- River of No Return Wilderness, the newly designated Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness, the snow-covered cap of the tallest peak in Idaho, Borah Peak, or the free-flowing waters of the Wild & Scenic Salmon River and the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. The Salmon-Challis National Forest is rich with history as evidenced through the numerous rock shelters displaying pictographs and from what are now ghost towns of the mining days. The Sheepeater Indians of the Shoshone Tribe were among the first to populate this remote region; living along the river banks, they would often share their bountiful fishing and hunting grounds with the Nez Perce and Flathead Indians. In the early 1800’s, the Lewis and Clark Expedition crossed the continental divide into unchartered territory; and through the help of Indian guides Toby and Sacajawea (who was born in Lemhi County of the Salmon Challis National Forest), they opened the west to trappers, fur traders, miners, ranchers, lumbermen, and missionaries. Today, visitors can view remnants of history as they explore the mining ghost towns found in Mackay, Gilmore, Custer, Leesburg, and Yankee Fork; hike a portion of the Lewis and Clark Trail; or view pictographs while floating down one of the Salmon Rivers.
