Working at ODOE
Our team is dedicated to keeping Oregon on the leading edge of renewable energy and energy efficiency while supporting innovation, investment, and resilience. From helping individual 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 smart, engaged team members who are ready to deliver for Oregonians.
ODOE employees are driven by our vision to lead Oregon to a safe, equitable, clean, and sustainable energy future. We take this responsibility seriously, with a commitment to challenging work that makes a difference in the lives of Oregonians. Our employees are enthusiastic about making change through public service. We get excited about new ideas, seeing projects through, and being part of a team. With about 90 staff, our agency is made better through strong collaboration and communication. We recognize each other’s talents, respect each other’s diversity, and count on each other’s word. Above all, we have fun working together on behalf of the state. Energy is one of the most important, fastest-moving issues in Oregon today.
