Job Description:
WORKING AT THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
At the Oregon Department of Energy, we're helping shape the state's energy future. Our team is dedicated to keeping Oregon on the leading edge of renewable energy and efficiency while supporting energy innovation, investment, equity, and resilience. From helping Oregonians save energy at home to overseeing the state's interests in the world's largest environmental cleanup at the Hanford nuclear site in Washington, our work is challenging, rewarding, and diverse. We work with developers and communities on proposed energy facilities, with schools and manufacturers looking to save energy and money, and with other agencies and stakeholders on meeting the challenges of climate change. Oregon is one of the most energy-efficient states in the country, routinely landing near the top of annual national rankings. ODOE is committed to helping Oregon remain an energy leader, and that starts with hiring engaged team members ready to deliver for all Oregonians.

The Energy Planning & Innovation (P&I) Division supports the agency's mission by pursuing programs and policies that help Oregonians conserve energy, use energy more efficiently, produce energy using renewable sources, and create a clean energy future. The Division has four groups: Energy Efficiency & Conservation focusing on promoting and acquiring energy efficiency; Energy Technology & Policy focusing on renewables, planning, and sustainable transportation options; Codes and Standards focusing on building codes, appliance efficiency standards, implementing the Building Performance Standard program; and the Climate Team focusing on climate policy, climate action, and natural climate solutions.

We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for our positions and hope you will join us on our path to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are an agency that embraces social equity through our values, strategic planning, and actions. Leaning into our equity priorities means we continually examine what we do, the impact we have, and our progress toward weaving social equity into who we are.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
You will provide technical GIS support to the Energy Planning & Innovation Division and other ODOE program areas. This includes selecting, applying, and interpreting complex statistical analytical and forecasting techniques, designing computerized models, and analyzing and presenting the results in narrative and/or graphic form. This position serves as a project analyst on research studies for one or more divisions. The position is also responsible for designing, implementing, and evaluating research methodologies and applying analytical techniques and concepts to geospatial, statistical and fiscal projects.

This position is eligible for a hybrid remote work schedule. The incumbent will be expected to work at the central workplace located at 550 Capitol St. NE in Salem, Oregon, at least six times per year. This generally includes attendance at pre-scheduled in-person all-staff meetings. The position may also be required to work at the central workplace on a more frequent basis with advance notice, as needed.
