Intern - Renewable Energy

As a Dandelion Utility and Rebates Intern, you will have the opportunity to learn and gain first-hand experience in a G&A department at a renewable technology company backed by leading investors like Green Energy Ventures, Google Ventures, Comcast Ventures, NEA, and Lennar. You will be expected to attend daily stand up meetings using Google Meets, and weekly one-on-one meetings with the supervisor. Other meetings as needed will be done through Google Meets. Google Drive for access to shared documents and project folders will be utilized for collaborative remote work. Other online software access will be granted as needed for completing rebate applications and other projects. We are looking for a driven individual with a basic understanding of utility and rebates principles who is ready for real-world experience. Under the direct supervision of our Utility and Rebates Manager, you can expect to participate in the preparation of rebate applications, analyze rebates and green loan data, research growth regions, and assist with other activities to grow the team. This is a paid six month, part-time internship with a minimum expectation of committing 15-20 hours a week remote work. New York residents and students preferred.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work as part of a dynamic corporate team to compile and verify data, track information, and support our day to day rebates processing
• Prepare rebate applications including compiling documents, requesting customer signatures, and reviewing application data inputs
• Troubleshoot for missing information in applications and data discrepancies
• Take on additional tasks or projects to learn more about regulations and rebates in the renewable energy space
• Attend standup meetings with the Accounting team, weekly or monthly meetings with cross-department team members, and meetings with external stakeholders on an as-needed basis

About You:

• A recent graduate of a 2- or 4-year college or university in Math, Science or Engineering
• Prior experience working with Netsuite, Bill.com or CRM software is a plus
• Strong communication skills - You are able to form and express your opinions in a collaborative way
• Experience with Excel - You are able to create and navigate Excel worksheets with ease 
• Attention to detail is a must. In this role, you need to be a “safe pair of hands” - you are able to explain assumptions clearly and concisely and are proactive about asking questions when you are uncertain about the best path forward
• You have a strong desire to take on new challenges and learn as much as possible
• You understand when and how to manage a tight timeline while maintaining standards of excellence
• You must be able to handle sensitive or confidential information with honesty and integrity

You’ll love working at Dandelion because:

We’re solving the world’s hardest problems. You’ll have the opportunity to pioneer renewable heating and cooling from the ground-up (literally). There’s no established playbook for fighting climate change, so your work will be messy, challenging, and build a better, cleaner world.

We’re good people. It sounds simple, and it is. We are passionate, vision-driven, low-ego, and treat one another with kindness and respect. We challenge ideas here, not people.

We hold each other accountable. We celebrate our wins and learn from our losses. We’re honest, realistic, and transparent across all areas of the business, every day -- not just at our monthly all-hands meeting.
