About the role and company

Go Sustainable Energy (Go) is hiring full-time or part-time curious engineers with experience and interest in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics. From these core engineering competencies, we develop expertise in energy management, energy using systems, renewable energy, and the electric grid. We are passionate about learning how complex technical systems work so that we can offer accurate, unbiased information to our clients. We are seeking qualified engineers with two to four years experience to join our team in Columbus or Dayton, Ohio. Engineers looking to work out of Cleveland, Ohio will also be considered. Relevant coursework, internships, and project experience will be considered in lieu of work experience. Engineers can work a combination of in office and at home.

If you enjoy energy systems, you are curious, you thrive when working with others, and you are passionate about applying technical solutions to environmental and social challenges, we think you could be a good fit for our team! You do not need to have all the answers, but you should want to deepen your knowledge and expertise of energy systems.

Our team continuously invests in learning; growing the knowledge and skills required to achieve a practical decarbonized society, and we offer compelling career development opportunities to do it.

The goal of our work is to investigate, measure, and to support our clients’ energy and sustainability initiatives. To be successful, we must invest in our client relationships, and navigate the technical, economic, and cultural influences that create barriers and opportunities with a changing energy system.

Go serves leading businesses, cities, manufacturers, healthcare systems, and utilities. We consult on energy efficiency, renewable energy and energy storage, and energy management.
