Base pay range $38,250.00/yr - $39,500.00/yr
Environment Texas is hiring an entry-level campaign associate to help lead our campaigns to promote and build support around clean energy.
Utility-scale solar, wind and battery storage facilities are booming in Texas, cutting pollution and strengthening grid reliability. But some politicians and fossil fuel interests are pushing back, attempting to erect new barriers to cleaning up the electric grid. At the same time, some cities and electric companies make it difficult for Texans to install solar on the roofs of their homes and businesses.
