The Company designs, develops, constructs, and operates biogas powered renewable energy generation systems on dairy farms.

In addition to financial and tax credit management, the position requires facilitating investor communications, responding to data requests, and actively participating in strategic planning for projects. The ideal candidate will be comfortable reviewing legal and financial documents, leading conference calls, and maintaining strong professional relationships with multiple agencies, consultants, and financial institutions nationwide. This position demands excellent administrative, organizational, and communication skills, both over the phone and via video, as well as the ability to coordinate complex projects to successful, timely closings while ensuring full compliance with labor, wage, and tax requirements. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute directly to the growth of clean energy projects, gain hands-on experience with federal tax incentives, and work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment at the forefront of renewable energy finance.
