About Torch Clean Energy

Torch Clean Energy is a leading renewable energy developer focused on accelerating the transition to a clean energy future. We specialize in the development, financing, construction, and operation of utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage projects across the United States. At Torch, we believe our mission-driven culture, strong relationships, and nimble execution are key to our success. In January of 2025, Torch entered into a joint venture partnership with Morgan Stanley Infrastructure partners to develop, construct, and operate our existing pipeline of projects and to acquire additional assets prior to the start of construction.

About the Role

Torch Clean Energy is a growing utility-scale solar and energy storage developer with an active and expanding project pipeline.

The team trusts you to own your work. This is an entry-level role built for someone who is technically sharp, intellectually curious, and genuinely excited about the energy transition. You will be embedded with a senior leader from day one, with a clear runway to take on greater ownership as you grow.

• Contribute to defining the structure and scope of the analyst function as the team scales
