Hi there! Welcome to Ed’s Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List, where we know climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, oil, and fossil gas (“natural” gas), and that burning fossil gas in our homes makes us sick.
Programming note - I will be off next week for the Labor Day holiday in the U.S.
Jobs that require less than five years experience remain free. There are individual subscriptions ($6/month or $60/year) available as well as career center subscriptions ($300/year). College student? Please ask your career center to sign up for a paid subscription, especially if they pointed you here. Odds are they have not subscribed.
Want to support the jobs list, but can’t swing a subscription? I started an affiliate bookshop on Bookshop.org that will send me a small affiliate bonus if you purchase books using this link (https://bookshop.org/shop/EdsCleanJobs). I also included a selection of books that I’ve enjoyed that address climate change and climate solutions. You can also send me a one-time payment/tip using this link.
What I'm reading this week:
Where does the climate movement go from here? (Emily Atkin and Bill McKibben, Heated)
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
Tribal Solar Projects Meet Different Fates in Wyoming After Trump Administration Kills Funding (Jake Bolster, Inside Climate News)
Signal Boost:
- Sun Day - national day of action on September 21, 2025.
- KCAF Action Grants. Kye's Climate Action Fund. Remote U.S. Climate Science Action Grant. Climate Policy & Advocacy Action Grant. Applicants must be under 30 years of age. $3k and $10k grants available. Application deadline is August 31st.
Housekeeping:
- I'm not a recruiter.
- You can send me job tips by responding to this email. Help me help you by putting them in the format that I use. Thanks in advance!
- I don't post unpaid internships.
- This project is not related to my day job. Any opinions expressed here are mine alone and do not reflect those of my employer.

Good luck with your job search!
