Energy Circle is a nimble, dynamic team of smart, creative individuals who share a passion for the energy efficiency industry.
We share a sense of mission for driving the industry in order to fix our country's buildings, improve our indoor environments, reduce our carbon emissions, and minimize our reliance on dirty fuel sources. We're a small group but have a national reputation as thought leaders dedicated to making the better building industry more successful and, in turn, taking on the global challenge of reducing energy use in buildings. And as a Certified B Corp, we set a high bar for the way our business operates, and hold ourselves accountable for actually practicing what we preach.
Why Work Here?
We're devoted to the energy efficiency and renewable contracting industry, and it is thriving. The drivers of our category—energy costs, climate change, and the health and quality of home environments—are real and not going away (if you don't believe this, please don't apply).
The hybrid-model work atmosphere at Energy Circle is inclusive, casual, and supportive. We take the "human" principle seriously and recognize that people have lives and interests outside the office, and these interests often make them better at what they do in the office.
Sometimes it takes a sprint to get things done, but we're about sustainability and that applies to the workplace too. We like dogs, kids, coffee, and getting together outside the office. We're a bunch of foodies, so team dinners are usually pretty tasty!
Who We Are Looking For?
Do you have to be an energy geek to work here? Short answer: No.
Longer answer: We aim to bring the best expertise in internet marketing to bear on behalf of the better building community. So as long as you are resolutely passionate about your core expertise, whether it be web development or digital marketing, content production or SEO, you only need to be open to finding our founder's passion for renewable energy. This is a flat, open, transparent team structure where you'll have lots of autonomy as long as you are kicking ass.
Energy Circle is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we strive to assemble a team of thoughtful, talented, and diverse employees who are invested in issues directly related to our mission, including environmental justice. We believe the more people with different backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences, the more successful our company will be, and we are always on the lookout for volunteer opportunities that support our mission in the surrounding community.
Our Location
Did we mention that we get to do all this great work in the Greater Portland, Maine area? Energy Circle's office is located in the heart of downtown Portland on Congress Street and is equipped with high efficiency heating and cooling, with an independent ventilation system tuned to optimize indoor air quality and a healthy working environment. We continuously measure the indoor environment with a commercial grade, RESET-certified monitor, and make the data accessible to everyone. Since COVID, we have increased ventilation rates, added HEPA filtration and beefed up surface cleaning procedures. To date, we have met or exceeded the "high performance" target for RESET's Commercial Interiors Standard. We will continue to follow guidance from health and safety authorities, to offer a choice of working environments that first and foremost prioritize the health and safety of our team.
