Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 09.27.26
2026, #34
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.
There are 69 jobs and internships in the full version of the newsletter this week.
Access to jobs that require less than five years experience or that are located outside of the U.S. are and will remain free. For jobs requiring more than five years experience, there are individual subscriptions ($7/month or $70/year) available. I also offer career center subscriptions ($300/year) which provides access for up to 10 users. 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.
Voting is the most important thing you can do to enact climate policy and drive change at scale. Find information about how to register where you live here: https://www.vote.org/. If you want to do more, consider volunteering with the Environmental Voter Project.
What I'm reading this week:
Trump cut their climate jobs. This secretive network found them new ones. (Sachi Kitajima Mulkey and Kate Yoder, Grist). The headline is a little more cloak and dagger than necessary, but I guess you gotta get the clicks. I assume some of the folks on this list will be interested in Climate Reserve’s work though.
US utilities get failing grade on clean energy transition (Jeff St. John, Canary Media)
Environmental (in)justice articles of the week:
20,000 Salmon Return to the Klamath—but Challenging Conditions for Recovery Remain (Claire Barber, Inside Climate News)
After a Deadly Flood, What Does Climate Justice for Nepal Look Like? (Paloma Beltran, Living on Earth via Inside Climate News)
