Rocky Mountain Institute is seeking exceptional candidates to fill both Associate and Senior Associate positions within our Buildings Program. Associates and Senior Associates are creative problem solvers who use their quantitative, technical and analytical abilities to conduct compelling analyses around vital energy issues.

The Buildings Program balances research, technical analysis, boots-on-the-ground field work, communication, and collaboration to achieve its goals.
